Two people were riding the motorcycle, a 63-year-old man and a 62-year-old woman. Authorities say a 25-year-old man was driving the truck and the sheriff’s office did not immediately release if the truck driver was injured.
Mayo Clinic Ambulance attempted life-saving efforts on both motorcycle riders, who were later pronounced dead at the scene. Their names have not yet been released and investigators haven’t said what may have led to the collision.
