A motorcyclist died Thursday night after crashing in Washington County.

Allen Hintz, 67, from Congress, Ariz., was driving north on Interstate 15 when, for an unknown reason, he went off the highway about a mile south of New Harmony, said Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Todd Royce. The crash occurred at 9:38 p.m.

Hintz was thrown about 15 to 20 feet from his motorcycle.

An ambulance took him to Dixie Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. He was wearing a helmet, Royce said.
