Emergency services took the rider to the hospital, where he later died due to his injuries; his name has not yet been released.
The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet, according to the MHP.
The driver of the Tacoma, a 61-year old man from Billings who was wearing a seatbelt, did not sustain any serious injuries.
The MHP said that alcohol, drugs, and speed are not suspected as factors in the crash.
