Carol Rosenberg of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports:
A Miami Heat dancer on a motorcycle was killed Friday night in a collision with a Mercedes in Fort Lauderdale and police on Saturday were appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Nancy Lopez-Ruiz, 22, of Plantation was riding her 2003 Suzuki GSX R in the westbound right-hand lane of East Sunrise Boulevard when the 9:30 p.m. crash occurred.
Mario Careaga, of Fort Lauderdale, had been driving his 2009 Mercedes behind Lopez-Ruiz. The Mercedes hit the median at the curve of North Federal Highway, then struck the motorcycle, knocking the young woman off her bike. She was pronounced dead on the scene.
