On April 21, 2010 at approx. 6:18 PM Officers of the Ocala Police Department
responded to NE 7 Street and 25 Avenue in reference to a motorcycle and car
accident, with serious injuries. Just prior to this call our agency received
a report from a citizen that a similar motorcycle was driving recklessly
(excessive speed, wheelies, and weaving through lanes) north on SE 25 Avenue
from SE 17 Street. Upon arrival Officers found W/M Geoffery Griffin DOB
7/17/90 had been ejected from his 2008 Suzuki motorcycle and sustained serious
head injuries. From statement from eye witnesses Officers determined that
Griffin was driving in excess of 80 MPH, and had just done a wheelie (riding
on one tire) when Mary Croizier, 58 years of age, pulled out from a stop sign
at NE 7 Street. Griffin stuck the car, and died at the scene. The motorcycle
continued for two blocks. Accident Re-constructionists and Medical Examiner
Investigator responded. Griffin's license status was suspended and he had no
motorcycle endorsement. Case is on going and charges are pending.
