LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON, Utah — A motorcyclist was killed after colliding with a vehicle in Little Cottonwood Canyon, with the accident forcing the closure of the canyon for a period of time Friday.
The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office said 38-year-old Neil Munroe was riding his motorcycle westbound down the canyon at approximately 7:45 p.m. when he struck an eastbound vehicle.
Monroe was pronounced dead at the scene, with officials believing he lost control of his motorcycle while making a turn, causing him to crash into the eastbound vehicle.
Due to the crash near Snowbird Resort, SR-210 was closed to all traffic for several hours, keeping people from getting down the canyon.
The other driver remained at the accident site and is cooperating with the investigation.
