Driver with previous DUI arrested after fatal collision with motorcyclist

A man with a history of multiple DUI arrests was taken into custody once more on Sunday for his alleged involvement in a fatal crash with a motorcyclist in Taylorsville. The suspect, Dennis Kilgore, 48, faces several charges including automobile homicide, leaving the scene of an accident, driving on a suspended license, and not having an interlock device in his car. Following the collision at 5400 South and 1500 West, where the motorcyclist tragically passed away, a witness tailed Kilgore to a neighborhood in Murray and reported his location to the authorities. Responding officers observed signs of impairment in Kilgore, including slurred speech and the smell of alcohol. The police affidavit states that Kilgore was also involved in a prior rear-end collision before hitting the motorcycle and was unable to maintain his lane of travel. Kilgore's license had been revoked due to alcohol-related offenses, and he has a record of four previous DUI arrests since 2021, showing a continuous disregard for the law. This is an ongoing story with potential updates.
