According to ClickOrlando, the crash which involved a motorcycle and a car, occurred on International Drive at the intersection with Meadow Bend Loop around 5:39 p.m.

The 63-year-old woman, driving the Mitsubishi Mirage, was attempting to turn left onto International Drive and entered in the direct path of the Northbound motorcycle.
