A 20-year-old Tampa man died after a motorcycle crash on State Road 54 in Pasco County Saturday, according to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).

Troopers said the crash happened at the intersection of Player Drive when a Chevy Suburban turned left into the path of an oncoming Kawasaki motorcycle driven by the 20-year-old man.

According to FHP, the motorcyclist was traveling westbound on SR-54 at a high rate of speed while the SUV, driven by a 53-year-old New Port Richey man, was heading eastbound before attempting the turn.

The motorcyclist crashed into the SUV during the turn, leaving the rider seriously hurt. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

The SUV driver was not reported injured.
