A 28-year-old Wyoming man is dead following a Saturday morning motorcycle crash northeast of Pinedale.

The Wyoming Highway Patrol says 28-year-old Jake Byers was headed north on Fremont Lake Road around 2:15 a.m. when he lost control of his bike and flipped it.

Byers, who was not wearing a helmet, died at the scene.  His female passenger was taken to Pinedale Medical Clinic and then flown to Idaho Falls for treatment.

The Patrol says speed may have contributed to the crash.
