SANDY, Utah, July 25, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — A motorcyclist was killed late Tuesday night when his bike collided with a car at 80 E. 10600 South.

Sandy Police Sgt. Jason Nielson said the crash occurred at about 11 p.m., as a Ford Fiesta heading west on 10600 South turned to go into the shopping area.

The Fiesta turned in front of the eastbound motorcycle, which crashed into the car’s passenger-side door frame.

The 48-year-old male motorcyclist was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Nielson said the driver of the car is cooperating with officials and there is no sign of impairment.

The Crash Analysis Reconstruction Team was called to the scene to assist with the investigation, and the road is expected to be closed until about 3 a.m., Nielson said.

  1. Love to them man’s son. He and his son were my co-workers. Great people. I truly hope no alcohol was involved on the driver’s part and this truly was just a horrible accident. This is a dark day for us all. For those who pray, please send prayers!!

  2. This motorcyclist was my friend. The Harley is very loud and Richard was a healthy man, HOW in Gods name did the driver NOT HEAR him even if he/she did not see him?? I live next to a loud train and the I15 freeway with both of those i can still hear Richards loud bike! I also pray that the person was not impaired. I pray that the driver will find peace if it was a horrible accident. If this person was driving under any kind of influence then I pray that Richards death will not be in vain and they get help and that the consequences are steep.

  3. The motorcyclist was my friend. The Harley is very loud it is hard to believe the driver did not hear him even if he/she did not see him. I live next to a loud train and the I15 freeway with both of those I can still hear his bike from down the street. I hope and pray the driver of the car was sober. I pray you find peace.

  4. He was an amazing man.. never met a soul like him. He was my best friend. I’m saddened by this. I wished I could hear him sing one more song. N dry jokes! He loved his kids like no other! When he talked about then his face lit up n his smile was like one I’ve never seen. Forever my friend. RIP.. I’ll see you again my beautiful friend..
