A motorcycle rider died after a crash Tuesday morning in Aurora.

The crash happened at about 9:42 a.m. in the 20300 block of East Jewell Avenue.

According to the Aurora Police Department, the on-scene investigation shows that the motorcycle was westbound on East Jewell Avenue and a red Toyota Tacoma pickup was eastbound and attempting to make a left turn into a parking lot south of Buckley Air Force Base.

The pickup turned left in front of the motorcycle and the rider was thrown from the motorcycle as it hit the truck. The rider was transported to a hospital with serious injuries and was pronounced dead a short time later.

The fatal crash is the latest in a string of recent metro-area crashes involving motorcycles.

Aurora is still also investigating a fatal crash from Monday night that killed two people thrown from a motorcycle after a collision with a minivan.

Sunday, police in Denver and Westminster also reported they were investigating fatal motorcycle crashes.

Colorado Department of Transportation data shows Labor Day weekend is the holiday weekend with most traffic-related fatalities. In 2015, 15 traffic fatalities were reported in the state over Labor Day weekend.

A final tally from the department for this year’s weekend has not been posted, but the department had already noted a concerning rise in motorcycle deaths this year. Through July 20, 58 motorcyclists died — up from 51 who had died in the same time period last year.
