A motorcyclist died after crashing head-on into a dump truck in Tooele.

The motorcyclist was traveling westbound on State Route 112 when, for some reason, he apparently veered into oncoming traffic, said police Sgt. Scott Schovaers.

About 9:25 a.m., he crashed head-on into an eastbound dump truck between mile posts 6 and 7. He was pronounced dead at the scene, Schovaers said.

The dump truck driver was not hurt.

Police were still investigating the crash, and waiting to release the motorcyclist's name until they can notify his family.
