IDAHO COUNTY, Idaho — A Terryville, Conn., man was killed in a head-on motorcycle crash on U.S. Highway 12 in Idaho last week, according to the Idaho State Police.
Troopers were called to U.S. 12 near milepost 140 in Idaho County, Idaho around noon on Thursday.
A preliminary investigation determined a 55-year-old man from British Columbia was traveling west on a Ducati Multistrada when it tried to make an illegal pass around a dump truck. The Duncati crashed head-on into a 75-year-old Terryville, Conn., man traveling east on a Honda GL1800, according to state police.
The Terryville man, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene, state police said.
The Ducati driver was airlifted to a local hospital, troopers said. His condition is not known at this time.
Traffic on U.S. 12 was closed on both sides for around four hours for the investigation and cleanup.
FOX61 has reached out to Idaho State Police for further comment regarding the investigation into this crash and they said they do not have the information to confirm the victim's identity at this time.
