Mahoney, 68, of Omaha, Nebraska, was killed after colliding with a vehicle that allegedly crossed the center line at mile marker 27 near Stoner, according to a state patrol incident report.<\/p>\n<p>Mahoney was northbound on a Harley Davidson about 10:30 a.m. when he was struck by the utility trailer of a southbound Ford 150 pickup driven by John F. Gebman, of Fruita.<\/p>\n<p>A motorcyclist traveling behind Mahoney braked hard to avoid colliding with the truck and trailer, and crashed the bike onto its side. The rider suffered moderate, but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Southwest Memorial Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Gebman, 83, faces charges of careless driving causing death, and careless driving causing injury, said Trooper Josh Lewis on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Dolores Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene, along with Montezuma County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies, and the state patrol.<\/p>\n<p>The fire department EMT crew administered emergency medical care, including CPR, to Mahoney, said Chief Mike Zion, but the man died from his injuries. A rescue helicopter had been called in for transport, but it was called off after he died.<\/p>\n<p>Both motorcyclists were wearing helmets, according to the incident report.<\/p>\n<p>The highway was closed for several hours because of the crash and subsequent investigation.
