According to South Jordan Police, two motorcyclists were traveling eastbound on 11400 South, near South Temple Drive, on Wednesday evening. At 7:27 p.m., a passenger car turned left onto Temple Drive, and one motorcyclist (18-years-old, male) collided with its side. The other motorcyclist managed to avoid the collision by laying his bike down.
The motorcyclist who hit the vehicle was transported to the hospital in critical condition and later died at the hospital. The other motorcycle rider sustained minor injuries. The driver of the passenger car was not injured.
All six lanes at the intersection have been closed, and officials said that the intersection is expected to reopen shortly.
Witnesses at the scene said that speed was a factor, as they reported seeing the motorcyclists traveling at a high rate of speed before the incident.
Both the surviving motorcyclist and the car driver are cooperating with police as they investigate the incident.
The South Valley Crash Team, which is comprised of investigators from South Jordan, Herriman, and Riverton Police, is investigating the cause of the crash.
“The City of South Jordan extends its deepest condolences to the family during this tragic time,” the South Jordan Police Department wrote in a news release.
