Motorcycle Deaths on the Rise in Minnesota

There is a rapid rise in the number of motorcycle deaths in Minnesota.

25 riders have died this year, compared to 16 at the same time last year.

The latest motorcycle death happened last night in Stearns County when a biker being chased by authorities was thrown from the bike and died.

Public safety officials are asking motorcyclists to take safety into their own hands and motorists to look twice for motorcycles.
