A 46-year-old Lehi man was killed late Wednesday morning when his motorcycle slid into an SUV in a fiery crash.

At 11:08 a.m. police received a call about the accident. Stephen Andrews of Lehi was pronounced dead at the scene, said Sgt. Darren Paul.

Andrews was speeding as he drove north around a curve on 850 East in Lehi and lost control of his 2000 Kawasaki Vulcan, said Paul. The motorcycle crossed the double yellow line and slid into an oncoming 1995 Kia Sportage.

The two vehicles caught fire. The motorcycle glanced off the SUV, stopping in a field off the west shoulder of the road. The flames spread into a small fire among weeds, Paul said.

Two witnesses to the accident, apparently from a nearby farm, ran to the scene, pulled an unconscious Andrews from the burning motorcycle and attempted CPR, Paul said.

Firefighters arrived at 11:14 a.m. to find both the SUV and the motorcycle on fire about 100 feet apart. The grass fire burned a 20-square-foot area before it was extinguished. Emergency crews put out the fire and pronounced Andrews dead.

The driver of the Kia was treated and later released. The collision occurred near the junction of 850 East and Millpond Drive.

Alcohol was not believed to be a factor.
