Boca Raton, FL – Fatal Motorcycle Crash Takes Life of Kristina Spadavecchia on Powerline Road near SW 18th St

Boca Raton, FL - Fatal Motorcycle Crash Takes Life of Kristina Spadavecchia on Powerline Road near SW 18th St

Boca Raton, FL (June 7, 2021) – A woman lost her life on the afternoon of Sunday, June 6, after colliding with a car while riding her motorcycle in West Boca Raton. The incident was reported at approximately 1:45 p.m. on the 6th, according to officials in Palm Beach.

The victim was identified as 27-year-old Kristina Spadavecchia of Lighthouse Point. Spadavecchia collided with a vehicle that ran a red light at Southwest 18th Street and Powerline Road. 

That vehicle was being driven by 42-year-old Vanessa Castor of Parkland. While Spadavecchia was traveling north on Powerline road with a group of other motorcyclists, for unknown reasons, Castor ran a red light while headed east through the intersection. 

As she was traveling through the intersection, she spotted the group of motorcyclists and stopped her vehicle. Spadavecchia was unable to avoid colliding with Castor’s Volkswagen SUV and was thrown from her bike.

The female victim was rushed to a nearby medical center where she lost her life approximately one hour later. We would like to offer our sincere condolences to her family at this time. 

Police in Boca Raton continue to investigate the details of the crash. No further information is available at this time. 

Our thoughts are with everyone involved and affected by this fatal accident in Boca Raton. 

Motorcycle Accidents in Boca Raton

The potential for a motor vehicle collision poses a risk to everyone on the roadways in Florida. However, collisions that involve motorcycles can be especially devastating. Motor bikes do not have the same safety features as most other four-wheeled vehicles. Motorcycles, being much lighter and smaller than the trucks and cars that may collide with them, expose their riders to a much more likely possibility of severe or fatal injuries. 

In the event that you or someone you love has suffered severe injuries in a motorcycle accident in Florida, it is imperative that you seek the legal advice of an attorney who regularly handles these types of cases. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney in Florida will be able to help you determine whether you possess the right to financial compensation for your injuries and losses. This depends on a number of different factors, especially the severity of your accident and resulting injuries, and whether or not it can be proven that your crash happened because of another person’s actions.
