Glacier National Park rangers are investigating a fatal motorcycle crash Wednesday on Going-to-the-Sun Road east of Logan Pass.

A 51-year-old man from Okotoks, Alberta, died in the accident. His name is being withheld until relatives could be notified.

The accident involved a group of about 27 motorcycle riders who were traveling eastbound between Rising Sun and Sun Point.

The victim lost control of his motorcycle, going over the edge of the road about a half mile west of the Wild Goose Island overlook.

Rangers estimate he fell about 30 feet. He was dead when the first responders arrived.
