A couple from Illinois suffered serious injuries when a vehicle cut into their motorcycle's path Monday in DeLand, according to the FHP

Virgil Wright, 66, and his wife, Sharon, 64, of Decatur, Ill., were injured when their motorcycle crashed into a vehicle that pulled in front of them, said Sgt. Kim Montes, FHP spokeswoman.

The Wrights were eastbound on Old Daytona Road when a Mini Cooper driven by Christopher Picklo, 29, of New Smyrna Beach, who was westbound, turned left into their path at the intersection of Garfield Avenue at 11:30 a.m., Montes said. The motorcycle struck the front right part of Picklo's car, troopers said.
