Motorcycle Crash Claims Two Lives in SD | Pierre News

Two Illinois residents, Kurt and Regina Klokkenga, both 69, died in a fiery motorcycle crash on U.S. Highway 385 near Hill City after their bikes skidded into a Toyota 4Runner—triggered by a fourth vehicle passing on the shoulder. Both riders were helmeted, but brakes locking up sent one rider crashing while the other’s bike collided with the car, igniting a fire that spread. Kendall Klokkenga, on the other motorcycle, suffered serious injuries; the Toyota’s occupants escaped unharmed. Authorities are still investigating whether Kendall was wearing a helmet.
