One hospitalized in Highland following ‘critical’ motorcycle crash

HIGHLAND, Utah (KUTV) — One person was injured in what police are calling a “critical” crash between a motorcycle and a passenger car in Utah County.

Officials with the Lone Peak Police Department said a motorcycle and a car crashed on 6000 W and Canal Boulevard just before noon on Saturday.

One person required immediate medical attention and first responders transported them to a local hospital. Details on their injuries and condition were not released.

Police said the cause of the crash is under investigation. They did not say whether the injured victim was the motorcyclist or an occupant of the passenger car.

The intersection was temporarily closed while emergency responders attended to the crash victim, but has since reopened.

The crash comes days after Utah Highway Patrol officials promoted educational resources for motorcyclists. They said 2025 marked the deadliest year for motorcyclists in Utah’s history.

“Many of these were preventable deaths, and we hope that with additional education, we will see fewer preventable deaths on Utah roadways,” UHP officials said.
