Crookston Man Charged with Killing Wife in Motorcycle Accident

A Crookston man is charged in a motorcycle crash that killed his wife in September.

Corey Reitmeier, 44, was charged by summons with criminal vehicular homicide.

He is scheduled to make his first appearance in Polk County court Thursday.

Reitmeier’s wife, 43-year-old Wendy Reitmeier, was seated behind him when their motorcycle collided with a deer on September 28.

Reports say Corey’s blood alcohol content after the crash was measured at 0.18, more than twice Minnesota’s legal limit.
