Motorcyclist Dies from Injuries Sustained in Hypoluxo Road Crash
LANTANA, FL — A 27-year-old motorcyclist has died following a crash on Hypoluxo Road on April 9.
Authorities said Stanley Jacques succumbed to his injuries at St. Mary's Medical Center on April 24. Witnesses reported that Jacques was traveling east on Hypoluxo Road when he collided with a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan.
Jacques was initially taken to St. Mary's with severe injuries. According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO), deputies attempted to stop Jacques after observing reckless driving in a food mart parking lot.

The investigation remains active, with authorities currently assessing whether Jacques was affected by the deployment of the Taser. Further updates will follow as more information becomes available.
