TAYLORSVILLE — Police say a man is dead after he lost control of his motorcycle Saturday night.
About 8:30 p.m, Shawn Garrett, 30, was southbound on Bangerter Highway, turned onto 5400 South and accelerated quickly, said Unified police detective Ken Hansen.
Moments later he lost control of the motorcycle, Hansen said.
The man, who was not wearing a helmet, died at the scene, according to Hansen. No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
"According to witnesses, speed in this is a factor," Hansen said.
Hansen said Garrett lived in the Salt Lake area.
