Leesburg, FL (July 9, 2018) – A 22-year-old man from Leesburg lost his life early yesterday morning in an accident involving his motorcycle. The accident happened when he was riding on his motorcycle and suddenly crashed into a parked car.
At the time, 22-year-old Carlos Edgar was riding his 2007 Suzuki motorcycle around 12:03 a.m. He was on Yale Retreat Road at Old Chisholm Trail when he suddenly lost control of the bike. This caused him to part a bit from the roadway and strike a parked car, identified as a 1995 GMC Sierra pickup truck. The Florida Highway Patrol was called to the scene of the incident.
Edgar was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, according to a crash report. The investigation continues at this time.
