OGDEN, Utah — A motorcyclist is dead after a crash early Saturday.

A motorcyclist was heading north on Interstate 15 in Ogden when the motorcycle hit the center concrete barrier at approximately 1:44 a.m. The crash caused the driver to be thrown from the motorcycle, over the median and onto the southbound travel lanes, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.

The driver of the motorcycle was then hit by multiple southbound vehicles, causing fatal injuries. He was identified Monday as 23-year-old Tyler Larsen, of Willard, Utah.

Both northbound and southbound traffic on I-15 were closed for hours while troopers investigated.
