RSSDJ Luis Borges Killed in Orlando Crash
On the last Sunday in August, the very popular Venezuelan DJ Luis Borges was killed in a car crash in Orlando. Borges, who was on vacation in Orlando, was walking along Lake Street near Ruby Lake Road, when a BMW sport-utility vehicle hit him. Since his death, there has been an outpouring of grief and memories for the Grammy nominee on social media.
Borges’ tragic death is proof that reckless driving and pedestrian accidents can hurt anyone when you least expect it. In Orlando, tourists are often the victims of accidents.
Last year, 57 million people visited Orlando as tourists, setting a third-consecutive record high according to the visitor’s bureau. Because of the high volume of tourists, there is an increased number of tourists involved in accidents. Tourists are often the victims and cause of pedestrian accidents, as sometimes they are lost and not paying attention to the road, or aren’t aware of notoriously dangerous intersections.
Being involved in or having a family member involved in an accident is the last possible thing you want to happen on vacation. In a new city, you aren’t able to see your normal doctor, and there can sometimes be issues with insurance or even language barriers.
