Man dies after crashing modified tricycle in southern Utah

George • A 20-year-old southern Utah man has died after crashing a modified child's tricycle on a steep trail. Washington City Fire Chief Brent Hafen says the tricycle had been modified with very large rear tires. Hafen says riding the modified trikes have become trendy among young people, but the contraptions don't have a braking system. St. Zachary Hunter Lusk was riding the tricycle Wednesday evening in Washington City when he picked up too much speed and went headfirst into a pile of rocks.
