BOZEMAN - The Gallatin County Sheriff's Office has released the name of a Florida man who was killed when he crashed his motorcycle into an SUV near West Yellowstone.

Sixty-three-year-old Daniel Erwin of Crawfordville was killed Friday morning on U.S. 20 about eight miles south of West Yellowstone. The Montana Highway Patrol says Erwin was trying to pass three vehicles in a no-passing zone when the first vehicle in line, the SUV, started to turn left into a parking lot. Erwin hit the vehicle broadside. Neither of the SUV's occupants was injured.
