Provo, UT (September 29, 2026) – A motorcyclist was critically injured in a crash involving a truck at 900 East University Parkway in Provo on Monday, September 28.
The Provo Police Department reported that the rider was taken to a local hospital in critical but stable condition. Southbound traffic was closed from the crash site through Heritage Drive while police investigated the collision.

The Provo Police Department is working to determine what caused the collision.
We hope the injured motorcyclist makes a full and steady recovery.
Which Mistakes Should I Avoid After a Motorcycle Crash in Provo, UT?
After a motorcycle accident in Provo, avoid skipping medical care, admitting fault, posting details about the crash online, or failing to document what happened. These mistakes can create problems later if you decide to file an injury claim.
An insurance company may use statements, social media posts, or gaps in medical treatment to question your claim. This can make it harder to recover the compensation you are seeking or lead to disputes over what the insurer should pay.
Because Utah does not require PIP coverage for motorcycles, your motorcycle policy may not provide the same medical benefits available to many people injured in car crashes. What your policy pays will depend on the coverage you purchased.
Depending on your losses, you may be able to seek compensation for medical costs, lost income, motorcycle repairs, and pain and suffering when another party is responsible for the crash.
Under Utah’s comparative fault rule, the amount you recover may be reduced by your share of responsibility. You generally cannot recover from another party if you are equally or more responsible for the crash than that party.
In Utah, you generally have four years from the date of a motorcycle crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing that deadline may prevent you from bringing your case to court.
If an insurer uses something you did after the crash to reduce the value of your claim, a motorcycle accident lawyer can review your case and negotiate with the insurer on your behalf. An attorney can also gather evidence, address disputes, and help protect your rights throughout the claims process.
