Police say that Floyd David Lee Laycock, 26, was riding a Suzuki GSX-R in the left lane of SR 70. At the same time, a 23-year-old unidentified driver was driving a 2019 Hyundai Elantra that was stopped at a stop sign in the intersection. The Elantra driver turned into the roadway and failed to see Lacock's oncoming motorcycle, causing a crash between the two vehicles. Lacock was taken to the hospital where he passed away from his injuries on Tuesday, September 3rd.
