Spanish Fork, UT (September 22, 2026) – A motorcyclist was critically injured in a collision with an SUV on southbound Interstate 15 in Spanish Fork on Saturday afternoon.
The rider was airlifted to Intermountain Utah Valley Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The roadway was partially reopened at about 6:30 p.m.

Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Davies Sanchez said speed is being examined as a possible factor in the collision. The investigation remains ongoing.
We hope the injured rider makes a full recovery.
What Injuries Are Common in Motorcycle Accidents in Spanish Fork, UT?
Motorcycle accidents in Spanish Fork can cause broken bones, head injuries, spinal injuries, road rash, and internal injuries. Because riders have little protection around them, a crash can cause serious harm in a matter of seconds.
As your treatment continues, medical records can show how the injury affects your recovery and daily life. Hospital notes, imaging results, specialist visits, and therapy records may also document the care you need over time.
If your injuries keep you from working, the financial pressure can grow quickly. Lost wages may add to medical bills, especially when recovery involves surgery, rehabilitation, or several weeks away from work.
When another driver caused the crash, those losses may become part of an injury claim. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses tied to the accident.
Because fault can affect compensation, Utah’s comparative fault rules may matter if both sides share some responsibility. Your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault and is generally barred if that share reaches 50% or more.
If there is a disagreement about how the crash happened, evidence can help clarify what occurred. Photos, video, vehicle damage, roadway markings, and statements from people who saw the collision may help show how the vehicles came together.
During the claims process, a motorcycle accident lawyer can communicate with the insurer, gather records, and document your crash-related losses. An attorney can also help address disputes over fault or available coverage.
