The tragedy struck on the Northwest Bayshore Boulevard on the evening of November 9, Thursday just before 8:30 p.m. The site where the dirt bike rider collided was near the intersection of Northwest Riverside Drive.  Riding on his Kawasaki bike, the victim, was heading southwards when the unforeseen tragedy struck him. The Port St.Lucie Police Department has confirmed the news on their official Facebook profile.

Based on the reports of WPTV, the impact of the collision led the bike to veer off the road before it clashed with a vehicle that was parked in a driveway. From the influence of the accident, the rider was ejected from the bike having fatal consequences.  

It was not that after the first collision, the Kawasaki dirt bike came to a halt. Rather, its trajectory continued as it slipped into a neighboring driveway where it hit another parked vehicle before smashing into an overhead garage door.
