MAGNA, Utah –Utah Highway Patrol has identified a man killed in a motorcycle accident on State Route 201 Saturday night.

At about 6:35 p.m., Gilbert R. Aguirre, 56, of Stansbury Park, was traveling west when he rear-ended a car on SR-201 near 8300 West, according to UHP.

Troopers had been dispatched to an injury accident on SR-201 in the area of 9200 West before the fatal accident occurred. The area of travel slowed down due to congestion.

A UHP trooper said reduced visibility due to the bright sun may have been a contributing factor in the crash.

There were no other injuries reported in connection with the crash.
