(KNSI) — A 43-year-old man from Janesville was killed in a motorcycle crash on Sunday.
The Stearns County Sheriff’s Office says they were called to the crash at about 2:18 p.m. County Road 13 just south of 360th Street in Grove Township, just south of Melrose. Initially, the report was that one rider went off the road and was injured. Crews then learned there were two riders involved, and one was seriously injured.
Crash investigators say the two were traveling south on County Road 13, south of 360th Street and missed a curve and rode into the ditch on the left side of the road.
They say Aaron Schlingmann was rushed to Melrose Hospital and airlifted to another hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The other rider, 45-year-old Erik Buckley, of Owatonna, Minnesota, was also rushed to Melrose Hospital for treatment. Neither Schlingmann nor Buckley were wearing helmets.
The Minnesota State Patrol responded to the crash scene for reconstruction purposes, and the crash remains under investigation.
