The Utah Highway Patrol reports that Cory R. Huges of Vinyard, Utah, was traveling southbound on Provo Canyon highway approaching the curve near Wallsburg. A white Toyota Prius had stopped on Main Canyon Road at the stop sign at the Wallsburg intersection before directly crossing the highway to a Deer Creek day use area.
The car had made it through three lanes of traffic and to the far-right lane of the southbound lanes when it was struck by the motorcycle, which hit the right rear corner of the Prius. Hughes died at the scene. The two occupants of the Prius were uninjured.
