17-year-old killed in American Fork motorcycle crash identified as Timpanogos High student

AMERICAN FORK, Utah (ABC4) — School district officials have confirmed that the 17-year-old who died in a motorcycle crash in American Fork Canyon was a student at Timpanogos High School.

The teenager — identified by relatives as Noah Scribner — was riding a Honda motorcycle on SR-92 and lost control while rounding a corner on Monday, May 12. According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the front wheel of the motorcycle broke off after the crash, and Noah received serious injuries. UHP said he died at the scene, despite life-saving measures.

“Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathies are with his family and friends and to all those who knew and loved him,” Timpanogos High School Principal Theron Murphy said in an email to the school community on Monday.

A relative of Noah has set up a GoFundMe* to help raise money for funeral and memorial expenses. According to the online fundraiser, Scribner was preparing to graduate and go on a service mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Alpine School District Director of Communications Rich Stowell told ABC4.com that a team of counselors was available at the school to talk with students after Noah’s passing.

“When tragic events happen, we make sure students have resources, and our professionals are ready to provide that support,” Stowell said. “It is something we do very well, even though the need presents itself at the most difficult times.”
