A 54-year-old Mastic man was killed when he crashed his motorcycle in Rocky Point over the weekend.

Suffolk County police said Russell Pallace was riding a Harley Davidson eastbound on Route 25A when he sideswiped a Cadillac before Pallace turned around and fled southbound on Rocky Point Road, where he crashed into several trees shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday.

Pallace was pronounced dead at the scene.

There was minor damage to the Cadillac but the driver was not injured.

Seventh Squad detectives impounded the motorcycle, are continuing the investigation and ask anyone who has any information about either of the crashes to contact them at 631-852-8752
