ST. GEORGE — A collision between a white SUV and a motorcycle slowed eastbound traffic along the diverging diamond interchange on St. George Boulevard Thursday evening.
At 5:02 p.m., a man driving a motorcycle was turning left after exiting southbound Interstate 15 at Exit 8 onto St. George Boulevard when he was sideswiped by a white SUV traveling east through the intersection onto the overpass on St. George Boulevard, Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Mike Murphy said.
On impact, the motorcycle spun around and received damage to the saddleback area, Murphy said, while the SUV was damaged on the right front fender.
Both drivers refused medical treatment and neither reported any injuries, he said.

Bott’s dots would help, not just here but on all of our main streets. They really help when it rains.
Paying attention to your driving would help a lot more. Just sayin… 🙂
