West Jordan, UT (June 10, 2026) – A motorcyclist suffered serious injuries on Monday evening, June 8, after colliding with an SUV on 4800 West in West Jordan. The crash happened around 9:00 p.m. when a southbound SUV turned left into the path of the northbound rider.
The rider, believed to be about 30 years old, was taken to a local hospital in serious condition. The West Jordan Police Department said he will likely lose his foot because of the crash.
The SUV driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with officers. Police said speed appears to have played a role, but they found no signs of impairment.
No names had been released as of this report. The West Jordan Police Department is still investigating the crash.
We are hoping the rider receives the care he needs and makes a full recovery.
Compensation Available After a Motorcycle Crash in West Jordan, UT
After a motorcycle crash, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain, long-term care, and property damage. The value of your claim depends on how badly you were hurt and who caused the wreck.
Because motorcycles are excluded from Utah’s no-fault PIP system, your medical costs may not be covered through your own policy. You may need to pursue the other driver’s liability insurance directly. That means proving fault is the starting point.
In a left-turn crash like this, the turning driver often carries much of the fault. Utah law requires left-turning drivers to yield to oncoming traffic. If the SUV turned without a safe opening, that can become a key part of the case.
Even if speed played a role, it does not automatically remove the other driver’s responsibility. Utah allows both sides to share fault. If your share is under 50 percent, you may still recover compensation.
Along 4800 West in West Jordan, traffic moves through commercial areas and residential side streets. Left turns can be especially dangerous after dark. Nearby high-risk roads include Bangerter Highway, Redwood Road, and 7800 South.
When injuries are this serious, the costs go far beyond the first hospital bill. Surgery, rehabilitation, prosthetics, and missed work can affect your life for months or years. A quick settlement offer may not reflect the full cost of recovery.
Insurance companies may push quick offers before you know the full cost of your injuries. A motorcycle accident attorney can review your expenses and future needs. That guidance can help make sure your claim reflects what you truly need.
