Public Information Officer Sandra Boonenberg said a motorcyclist identified as Phillipe Donnakanian, 45, of Highland Beach, was heading north on Dixie when he apparently lost control of the motorcycle.
She said the 2007 Suzuki left the roadway and went onto the grass swale area on the east side of the road, where it continued to travel north and struck a sign post. The motorcycle then struck an unoccupied parked lawn trailer attached to a 2004 Chevy pickup truck.
The motorcyclist was ejected from the motorcycle and was pronounced dead on the scene, said Boonenberg.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash to contact Traffic Homicide Investigator Mike Lawlor at (561) 620-6103.
