The man was driving between 30 and 35 mph and wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, according to investigators. He broke his leg and sustained other injuries when he struck the side of the Honda, police said.
He was taken to the Ogden Regional Medical Center for treatment and later died. Investigators said the exact cause of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner’s Office.
