A man was found dead near a UCF apartment early Tuesday morning after being involved in a crash on his homemade motorized bicycle, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The man, Gabriel Rodriguez, 25, was traveling on a bicycle with a homemade motor attached on Adela Avenue, which is just about a block away from the entrance to the Village at Science Drive.
Rodriguez hit a bump in the road that caused him to travel over the handlebars, the report said.
He was found dead when first responders arrived at about 1:40 a.m. The incident is still under investigation, the report said.
Rodriguez graduated from UCF in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
