Cancun, Q.R. — A motorcycle driver was killed Sunday in a single vehicle accident in the Cancun Hotel Zone. Transit officers were first on scene at kilometer 8.5 near Plaza Caracol late Sunday morning.
The accident happened on a section of Kukulcan Boulevard around shortly before noon. Witnesses reported seeing the driver lose control of his bike while taking a sharp corner.
The motorcycle fell to the ground, throwing the driver to the pavement.
Paramedics were requested at 11:50 a.m. by motorists who watched as the driver skidded along the boulevard.
Medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. Municipal Transit officers cordoned off the area while the coroner removed the man’s body.
A preliminary investigation by Transit indicated that excessive speed and a lack of caution when taking the curve may have contributed to the accident.
