ST. GEORGE — A man was injured in a crash on a newly purchased motorcycle Saturday night and later died at the hospital.
A man who had just bought a motorcycle was leaving the area when he hit a curb in the 700 block of St. James Lane, St. George police officer Tiffany Mitchell said. The man went off the road and hit his head while he wasn’t wearing a helmet.
He was taken to a hospital but later died from his injuries.
According to St. George News, responding officers learned the rider had just purchased the bike and was picking it up from St. James Park, about 200 yards from where the crash occurred.
A GoFundMe* identified the driver as Blaine Moore and said the accident happened shortly after a round at Beaverwood Disc Golf Course.
