An Oklahoma man died Thursday from injuries sustained when his motorcycle struck a truck.
Sam Nabors, 54, was pronounced dead at Rangely Memorial Hospital. His son, Mark, 28, was also taken to the hospital, but was later released.
The accident happened on Colorado Highway 64 near milepost 13. It occurred when the two motorcycle drivers attempted to pass a Kenworth truck on the left, the Colorado State Patrol officials stated in a release.
When the motorcycles passed the truck, the Kenworth turned left from the westbound land onto a private oil field access road. Sam Nabors hit the left side of the truck and was ejected from his motorcycle.
According to the CSP, the scene indicates the two motorcyclists were being driven at proper passing speeds and were in a legal passing zone.
The driver of the truck, 49-year-old Andy Mann of Rangely, was issued citations for careless driving causing death, careless driving causing bodily injury and failing to comply with Department of Public Safety rules and regulations governing safety standards and specifications.
Drug and alcohol impairment is not believed to be a factor in the crash.

Moffat County Fair Parade canceled
The Moffat County Fair parade has been canceled because of a lack of participants. “This year we only had four participants,” Downtown Business Association President Karen Brown said.
Since there were only four participants, Brown said it wouldn’t make sense to hold a parade. “At this point it’s not very cost effective for the city to shut the streets down,” she said.
The Lions Club sponsors the parade and provides the parade insurance. The club needs to know the number of entrants in advance before the parade can go on.
