Serious Accident on Glades?

Update: We have identified the motorcyclist who was seriously injured in this accident. See details and pictures at the bottom of the story. He appears to have survived and is currently (November 15th) in a room at Delray Medical Center.

UPDATE (5 pm): We spoke with the Sheriff’s “Media Relations” office. They mostly confirmed the details we had, though they could not be definitive. The motorcycle was traveling westbound and the car came out of a side street. They said the accident occurred at 3:30 pm (time confirmed by a resident). The motorcyclist was taken to Delray Medical Center. No information on the rider’s condition was available.

As of 4:25 pm Glades Road was closed westbound at Judge Winikoff Road, in front of Island Lakes. Eastbound traffic was also slowed. This is reminiscent of last month’s accident at Glades and Ponderosa.
It looked like a very serious accident with a yellow motorcycle on the ground, a car with multiple airbags deployed, and the Sheriff’s vehicle homicide investigation unit on scene with several other marked vehicles and officers.
Additional photos below. We will update when we get more information.

We can only guess from what we saw but it appeared that the car was making a left turn coming out of Island Lakes onto Glades to go eastbound, and the motorcycle was traveling westbound on Glades.

Update: Motorcylist Identified
West Boca News has determined that the motorcyclist involved in the accident was Jayson Acevedo. His Facebook cover photo shows him on a motorcycle remarkably similar to the one we saw on the roadway today.

We also found some tweets from relatives and friends identifying him. His own normally active Twitter page has been quiet since a few hours before the accident occurred.

West Boca News extends our best wishes to Mr. Acevedo and his family.
