Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol responded to a two-vehicle collision in Osceola County last night that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist.
According to the FHP report, a 2005 Yamaha motorcycle driven by a 44-year-old Kissimmee man was traveling northbound on Buena Ventura Boulevard approaching Majors Lane in the inside lane.
At the same time, a 2017 Ford Cargo van driven by a 39-year-old Kissimmee man was stopped in the westbound lane of Majors Lane at the intersection of Buena Ventura Boulevard.

The motorcyclist was pronounced deceased at the crash scene.
The driver and passenger in the van did not report any injuries to the FHP.
The crash remains under investigation.
