ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Eight people have died in crashes along Hiawassee Road this year, including a 20-year-old motorcyclist who was killed just last week at Hiawassee and Meadow Drive. Over the past five years, there have been more than 400 vehicle crashes and 67 injuries, according to new data from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Standing beside flowers and candles at a memorial on Hiawassee Meadow Drive, where the 20-year-old motorcyclist lost his life, neighbors say they’re devastated and are urging drivers to slow down and pay attention so tragedies like this don’t happen again.
