Motorcyclist Drives Through Wall, Dies

TAMPA, Fla. — A Brandon man riding his motorcycle (probably drunk as a skunk) in a restaurant parking lot died after crashing through a concrete wall, authorities said.

Hillsborough County deputies said Adel M. Odeh, 20, was riding a Kawasaki Ninja through the parking lot of the Acropolis Bar & Grill in Tampa Sunday night. As he approached the end of the lot, he accelerated toward the wall for an unknown reason, deputies said. Deputies said he hit the wall so hard that he went through it.

Odeh, who was not wearing a helmet, died at the scene.
