Video from the scene showed a damaged red Honda CBR motorcycle on its side, with pieces strewn off in the roadway and nearby in the grass, and a blue Honda FIT with Florida license plates. A small crowd of about a dozen people had gathered at the scene and were sitting in the grass, behind yellow police tape, as officials performed collision analysis and reconstruction.
Police have not said what may have led to the fatal collision. No other details were immediately available.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing by Burlington police, Massachusetts State Police, and the district attorney's office.
