A 31-year-old Kalispell man died after performing a wheelie on his motorcycle shortly before 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30. Jordan Munoz was traveling between 60 and 70 mph on Montana 206, north of Jensen Road, when the crash occurred.

“He did a wheelie as he was passing a vehicle and when he landed the wheelie on the road, it developed a wobble and he lost control of the bike,” Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Thomas Manz said Sunday.

Munoz was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and it is unknown whether alcohol or drugs were involved in the incident. Munoz was pronounced dead on scene.

The crash is currently being investigated by Montana Highway Patrol.
