TORREY, Wayne County — One man died Tuesday after he lost control of his motorcycle on state Route 24 near Capitol Reef National Park in southern Utah.
At about 3 p.m., the man, whose name has not yet been released, was traveling southbound with a large group of motorcyclists when they came across tire debris in the road, according to a news release from the Utah Highway Patrol.
When the front two motorcycles slowed to avoid the debris, the man, who was driving a Harley Davidson, “left his lane and went into oncoming traffic,” the release reads.
