A Pennsylvania man died while riding his motorcycle on Going-to-Sun Road in Glacier National Park last week.

According to a press release from the park, the 78-year-old man, from Martinsburg in central Pennsylvania, was driving west, about 1.7 miles east of Apgar Village at about 10 a.m. with friends. Witnesses driving behind the man said he slumped over his handlebars immediately before his motorcycle left the roadway.
