A California man was killed Saturday when a suspected drunken driver hit his motorcycle in southern Utah, police said.
Leland Lloyd, 53, of Lancaster, was riding south on Greensprings Drive in Washington City, said police Sgt. Dean Brimley. About 9:15 a.m., a northbound green Ford Explorer made a left-hand turn in front of Lloyd.
The two vehicles collided head-on. Lloyd was wearing a helmet, but was killed when his forehead hit the Explorer, Brimley said.
Police arrested the driver, 54-year-old John Hanson of St. George, on suspicion of automobile homicide, driving under the influence, open container and improper left turn.
Lloyd was in the area visiting family members at the time of the crash, Brimley said.
