DRAPER — A motorcyclist died Friday evening after a crash on southbound Interstate 15 in Draper.

The man was on I-15 near 12000 South around 6:34 p.m. Reports say he was driving recklessly and entered the high-occupancy lane where he collided with the rear end of a Toyota Prius after failing to slow properly, according to a Utah Highway Patrol press release.

Four teenagers in the Prius were uninjured, but the man's injuries were "non-survivable," police said.

The left three lanes of I-15 will be closed until approximately 10 p.m. while troopers investigate the crash.

"Please slow down while driving through this area and avoid it if possible," UHP asked in a tweet.

The man's identity has not been released.
