A Millard County sheriff's deputy man died and his wife was hurt Friday in a motorcycle crash in Iron County.

Brett W. Nielson, 50, was riding a Harley Davidson northbound on Interstate 15 a little after 4 p.m., when the motorcycle wobbled after passing a vehicle, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.

About three miles south of Kanarraville, Nielson went off the highway to the right and the motorcycle rolled several times, throwing both Nielson and Angela Nielson, 49.

Nielson died and his wife was flown to Dixie Regional Medical Center in serious condition, according to UHP.
