A 20-year-old Kalispell man died last week after losing control of his motorcycle on Airport Road, authorities say.
The motorcyclist was riding south on Airport Road about 2:35 p.m., June 6 when he crossed the center of the road, hit the brakes and lost control, according to the Montana Highway Patrol. The Kawasaki EX650 overturned in the wreck and the driver, who was wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Speed is suspected as a factor, investigators said.
The crash occurred by mile marker 8, near the intersection of Airport Road and Shelter Valley Lane, officials said. Road conditions were described as dry.
