A fatal motorcycle crash at 21st Avenue North and Tyrone Boulevard North in St. Petersburg left a 22-year-old rider dead Tuesday night.
Authorities said the collision happened shortly before 10 p.m. on June 2 at the busy intersection.

The motorcyclist was identified as Xavier Joshua Strunk, 22, of Pinellas Park. He was taken to Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital after the crash, where he later died from his injuries. Officials said his next of kin had been notified.
