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.
