    Chopper Builder Faces Charges In Fatal Crash

    POSTED: 3:23 pm EDT September 25, 2006

    Local motorcycle builder Billy Lane turned himself in at 1 p.m. Monday in connection with a fatal accident Sept. 4, according to Local 6 News partner Florida Today.

    Among the charges Lane faces are driving under influence, manslaughter and driving with his license suspended.

    Lane, 36, arrived with his lawyers at the Florida Highway Patrol office on State Road 520.

    FHP spokeswoman Kim Miller said Lane’s blood alcohol level was .192 when the accident occurred on State Road A1A south of Melbourne Beach.

    She said bond would be set at $15,000.

    Investigators have said Lane was trying to pass two other vehicles on a double-yellow-lined stretch of A1A when his southbound 2006 Dodge Ram pickup collided with a northbound 1983 Yamaha moped, the report said.

    Melbourne Beach resident Gerald Morelock, 56, was killed. Lane and a passenger in his truck were injured.

    For almost 20 years, Lane has made a name for himself building custom “choppers.” He has appeared on the Discovery Channel’s “Bike Build-Off” and “Monster Garage.”
