Williams was the lead bike in a group of four riding west on Main Street when "for reasons unknown" he drove onto the shoulder, where his tire dropped into a 4-inch deep, 5-inch wide, 24-foot long rut. The motorcycle, which was approaching Oklahoma Avenue, suddenly flipped to its right, throwing Williams onto the pavement and into the path of other bikers.
A spokeswoman for the 5th Circuit Medical Examiner's Office, which conducted an autopsy on Williams at its offices in Leesburg, said two toxicological examinations measured Williams' blood-alcohol at 0.12 percent, a level exceeding the .08 percent statutory threshold at which Florida law presumes a motorist to be impaired.
