State Patrol: Motorcyclist Killed In I-35 Crash In Wyoming

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Minnesota State Patrol says a 56-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a crash on Interstate 35 in Wyoming Friday afternoon.

The crash happened at about 2:54 p.m. at the I-35 southbound exit to County Road 22/Viking Boulevard.

The State Patrol says traffic was slowing down in the left lane due to construction when the motorcyclist side-swiped a 2009 Ford Fusion.

The three passengers in the Ford Fusion, all from Duluth, were not hurt in the crash.

Southbound I-35 was closed for about two-and-a-half hours in the aftermath of the crash.

The state patrol is investigating.
