UTAH (Gray News) – A 57-year-old man from the Netherlands riding a BMW cross country motorcycle in Utah died Wednesday after crashing into the back of a tanker on an interstate highway.
According to the Department of Public Safety, a semitruck pulling the tanker had its hazard lights on because it was going slowly up a steep hill.

The driver of the semitruck pulling the tanker was not hurt.
