CEDAR CITY, Utah — A woman has died after she went too fast around a turn on her motorcycle and crashed into a guardrail on state Route 20.

The incident happened near milepost 11.5 around 12:50 p.m. Friday.

Officials with the Utah Highway Patrol said a Harley Davidson motorcycle was traveling eastbound on S.R. 20 when, according to the initial investigation, it was going too fast around a left-hand corner turn and slid off the right side of the road.

“The female motorcyclist was separated from the motorcycle and hit the guardrail, sustaining life threatening injuries,” a press release from UHP stated Friday.

Unfortunately, the woman died as a result of her injuries.

UHP officials said the woman’s husband was traveling behind her on a separate motorcycle at the time of the crash.

The right lane was closed for several hours while authorities investigated the scene.

The victim’s identity has not been released.
