SOUTHERN UTAH — A man was killed in a motorcycle crash near Cedar City Sunday evening.

According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the crash occurred just before 5 p.m. Sunday on SR-14 at mile post 7, east of Cedar City.

Police say a man on a Suzuki motorcycle was traveling with a friend who was riding another motorcycle when the man on the Suzuki attempted to pass the other bike “at a high rate of speed.”

The man was wearing a helmet but suffered fatal injuries upon striking the ground.
