Authorities say a motorcyclist died after he collided with a pickup truck making a left-hand turn off State Street in Sandy.
Police responded to a report of a crash on State Street at Pioneer Avenue shortly after 1 p.m., according to Sandy Sgt. Greg Moffitt. He said a motorcyclist was traveling north on State Street when he collided with a pickup truck attempting to turn from southbound State Street onto eastbound Pioneer Avenue.
The motorcyclist, a male whose name and age were not immediately released, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Moffitt said the driver of the pickup truck wasn't injured. The driver remained at the scene and was cooperating with police. The crash remains under investigation; however, at least one witness told police that the motorcyclist was speeding prior to the crash, he said. That is one angle that will be looked at as a part of the ongoing investigation.
State Street is currently closed in both directions between 8375 South to 8750 South as a part of the investigation, according to the Utah Department of Transportation. It's expected to reopen later Thursday.
