Minn. Motorcyclist Dies In SD Crash
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) -- The South Dakota Highway Patrol says a Shakopee, Minn., man was killed after his motorcycle slid into the rear of a stopped pickup on U.S. Highway 85.
The Rapid City Journal reports that the brake on the motorcycle ridden by 54-year-old Robert Best, locked up, causing him to lay the bike down on the highway and slide into the back of a pickup on Friday.
Troopers say Best died from his injuries at a Spearfish hospital.
Twenty-two-year-old Kelley Nible, the pickup's driver, was not injured. He was charged with having invalid license plates and a seat-belt violation.
