A 25-year-old Fort Collins motorcyclist was killed in a motorcycle crash on North Taft Avenue in Loveland on November 9, according to Loveland police.
How the North Taft Avenue Crash Unfolded
The crash happened just before 4 p.m. at North Taft Avenue and West 8th Street. Police said the motorcyclist was heading north on Taft Avenue on a Ducati Superbike when the bike collided with a GMC Yukon. Police said the Yukon was making a left turn onto eastbound 8th Street. The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike.
Witnesses at the intersection rushed to his side, and first responders tried to save his life. He later died at the hospital. The Yukon was driven by a 48-year-old Loveland man.
What Loveland Police Are Examining Now
Loveland police said their CRASH Team was called out and is leading the investigation. The intersection stayed closed for about three hours while crews worked. The Larimer County Coroner's Office is expected to release the rider's identity. Police asked anyone with more information to call the department's non-emergency line.
Vehicles from a serious crash are often towed to a secure lot and held for inspection. That is a standard step, and the vehicles can be held for weeks.
