A motorcycle accident occurred shortly before 5 p.m. on a Thursday just west of Minot, North Dakota, resulting in the unfortunate loss of two lives. The incident unfolded on Highway 2 and involved a Harley Davidson motorcycle and a Honda Accord passenger vehicle.
According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, a 62-year-old male from Burlington was operating the westbound Harley Davidson, with a passenger riding on the back. Meanwhile, a 36-year-old Minot resident was driving the Honda Accord, which was stationary at a stop sign on a frontage road. In an attempt to cross Highway 2, the Honda Accord proceeded and collided with the oncoming Harley Davidson.
The impact of the collision led to the ejection of both the driver and the passenger from the motorcycle. Tragically, neither individual was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision. Despite being transported to Trinity for medical treatment, the motorcycle driver did not survive his injuries. The passenger, a 64-year-old woman from Burlington, also lost her life at the scene.
Remarkably, the driver of the Honda Accord emerged from the collision uninjured.
