A Friday evening bike ride turned deadly for a man in Spartanburg, SC, after a hit-and-run crash on October 3.

Authorities say Dalton Lee Taylor, 27, was riding his Moped on SC 11 near Harvey Gosnell Road, a little after 11 PM. Another vehicle, believed to be a Chevrolet pickup, struck the Moped, then kept driving. Unfortunately, Taylor was seriously injured when he was ejected from the bike and was later pronounced dead at the scene.
