BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2024) — A motorcyclist was killed in a deadly West Boca Crash on Saturday morning.

The deadly crash happened at Judge Winikoff Road & Hammock Street in unincorporated Boca Raton just before 12 PM on Saturday, June 8th, 2024.

A motorcyclist was riding a Honda NC700 heading west on Judge Winikoff Road in the outer lane at a high speed near Hammock Street.

Around the same time, Ralph Liotta from Boca Raton was driving an eastbound Subaru Crosstrek on Judge Winikoff Road, preparing to turn left onto Hammock Street to go north.

During Liotta’s left turn, the motorcyclist collided forcefully with the passenger side of the Subaru. The Subaru spun towards the north end of the intersection and came to a stop in the southbound lane of Hammock Street facing south.

In the midst of this collision, the motorcyclist was thrown off their bike and hit the passenger side of the Subaru. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office reports that they have not yet identified the motorcyclist.
