Motorcyclist killed in crash with pickup

LARIMER COUNTY - A Loveland man riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle near Horsetooth Reservoir west of Fort Collins was killed Saturday night after he collided with an oncoming pickup.

The Colorado State Patrol was still investigating the crash late Saturday night, and the name of the victim, 48, was not immediately released. Investigators believe speed and alcohol intoxication played a role.

CSP spokesman Sgt. John Hahn said the crash occurred about 7:30 p.m. on County Road 38E, the reservoir access road.

Hahn said CSP investigators believe the motorcycle rider had been swerving in and out of traffic and was overtaking a fellow eastbound vehicle when he collided with a Toyota truck traveling west.

Hahn said the male driver of the truck, along with his female passenger, were unhurt in the collision.
