SPANISH FORK — A man died on Thursday in a mountain biking accident east of the Spanish Fork Reservoir, police said.
Authorities responded to the scene about 6:30 p.m. and found a mountain bike on the side of the trail and the body of a 52-year-old man close to the bike.
Police said it appeared the man crashed on the bike and died from injuries suffered in the wreck. No one witnessed the incident, therefore further details about the crash, including the exact time, weren’t immediately available.
The man was identified Friday as David Acosta, of Spanish Fork, according to police. He had left about 2 p.m. Thursday to go mountain biking alone. Acosta was wearing a helmet, police said.
There was no new information about the crash available Friday, but the crash appeared to be a tragic accident, police said.
