Two motorcyclists were killed Thursday night in a crash with a pickup truck near Duluth, authorities said Friday.
The wreck occurred about 9 p.m. in Rice Lake on East Calvary Road near S. 4th Avenue, the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office said.
"At this time, evidence indicates at least one motorcycle had traveled into the oncoming lane," read a Sheriff's Office statement, which did not specify which motorcycle strayed off course.
The crash occurred on a curve in the road and involved a truck being driven by a 28-year-old woman from Fredenberg Township, Minn., and two men on motorcycles: 42-year-old Jacob A. Laurion, of Rice Lake, and 50-year-old Steven J. Koslucher, of Canosia Township, Minn., the Sheriff's Office said.
Emergency responders declared the motorcyclists dead at the scene. The Sheriff's Office did not disclose whether the truck driver was injured.
