Provo Police received reports of two accidents on University Avenue during rush hour on Monday, one of which tragically resulted in the death of a motorcyclist. The fatal incident occurred around 6:35 p.m. as a passenger van turning left at the intersection of 1200 S collided with a southbound motorcycle. The rider sustained fatal injuries and was taken to Utah Valley Hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries. Meanwhile, another crash near 300 S University Avenue involved a vehicle hitting a road structure, causing minor injuries to the driver. Responding officers initiated a DUI investigation due to the circumstances of the second crash.
