Cedar City, UT (May 30, 2022) – A dirt bike racer was airlifted from the scene of a collision on Saturday, May 28th during the World Off-Road Championship Series event at Three Peaks Oasis.
At about 5:10 p.m., the Iron County Sheriff’s Department responded to reports of a crash on Lund Highway when a 25-year-old man from Santaquin was injured during an accident at the event and was unresponsive.
The cause of the collision has not been determined.
Upon their arrival, the sheriff’s department located the victim who was receiving treatment from privately contracted paramedics.

The man’s current condition is unknown.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
In the state of Utah, there are a few notable differences between motorized bike accidents and standard car accidents that it is important to understand, the most important being that two-wheeled vehicles and motor vehicles do not carry the same kind of liability insurance.
Second, when a rider is hurt, the injuries they sustain are often far more severe. If you are injured as a motorized bike rider, it is vital that you seek prompt medical attention so you can understand the full scope of your injuries and learn what medical care is necessary for you to fully recover from them.
Lastly, hire a reputable personal injury lawyer who knows how the different kinds of insurance work in your case and who is known for taking cases all the way to trial to ensure full financial compensation.
Our lawyers understand the dangers that those who enjoy riding motorized bikes often face. Given the lack of a two-ton metal shell as protection, they are some of the most helpless people on our state’s roadways. In addition, many motorists do not give riders respect or the room on the roadway they are granted by the law.
