Oct. 21—The motorcyclist killed in a crash near Ward on Wednesday has been identified by the Boulder County Coroner's Office as William Hyslop, 70.

Colorado State Patrol Master Trooper Gary Cutler said Hyslop was riding a Suzuki V-Strom in the eastbound lanes on Colo. 72 when he crashed near mile-marker 44, just north of Ward.

Cutler said it appears Hyslop veered into the oncoming lane before overcorrecting and going off the right side of the road over an embankment.

Hyslop was thrown from the motorcycle and died on scene.

Cutler said speed and impairment are not believed to be factors at this time, and investigators do no think any other vehicles were involved.

The crash remains under investigation, while the Boulder County Coroner's Office will conduct an investigation to determine the official cause and manner of death.
