TOOELE COUNTY, Utah — A boy riding a dirt bike died Monday evening after colliding with a car on a Grantsville road.

Utah Highway Patrol said around 5:45 p.m., the car was traveling west on State Route 138 and was turning onto Sun Valley Drive when the accident occurred. As the car turned left, it was "T-boned" by the dirt bike on the passenger side.

The rider, a 12-year-old boy, died at the scene. Nobody in the car was injured.

It was not stated whether either vehicle had the right-of-way, but officials said they are working to confirm reports that the dirt bike did not have any lights.

The identity of the boy was not made immediately available by officials.

SR-138 was closed for a few hours due to the crash response and investigation.
