Suffolk police are searching for three men who fled the scene of a deadly hit-and-run motorcycle crash in Brentwood Monday. 

Andres Eloy Khammach La Cruz was riding northbound on Wicks Road when a southbound 2008 Ford Explorer turned left into his path about 7:22 p.m., police said.

The cyclist was thrown from the bike, which then caught fire, police said. 

Khammach La Cruz, 31, of Brentwood, was taken by ambulance to South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Police are seeking three men who were seen fleeing the Ford Explorer on foot after the crash. 

By late morning, police said they had no information on those men who fled the scene. 

Motorcycle crashes in May and June claimed at least 12 lives across Long Island, surpassing last year's death toll of at least six people during the same months, according to a Newsday analysis.
