(KNSI) — A 66-year-old Paynesville man was killed in a motorcycle crash on Interstate 94 Tuesday evening, according to the North Dakota Highway Patrol.

It happened just before 6:00 near mile marker 298 on I-94 in Barnes County. The man was driving his 2005 Harley-Davidson westbound when he lost control, left the roadway, and landed in the median. Authorities say he was not wearing a helmet at the time.

His 39-year-old female passenger, also from Paynesville, was not wearing a helmet, but she survived. She was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

The crash remains under investigation.

No names have been released.
