A Coon Rapids man was killed Thursday night when his motorcycle crashed into a Volkswagen sport utility vehicle on Snelling Avenue near the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in Falcon Heights.
The Volkswagen Touareg was traveling southbound on Snelling Avenue, which is also Minnesota 51, and turned to go eastbound on Garden Avenue around 10:20 p.m. when it was struck by a Yamaha MT09 operated by 27-year-old Jacob Isaac Lewer, according to Minnesota State Patrol.
Lewer was declared dead. His passenger, a 25-year-old Scandia woman, suffered non-life threatening injuries. Road conditions were dry and it is unknown if alcohol was a factor in the crash.
Roseville Police, St. Anthony Police and the St. Paul Fire Department EMS also responded to the scene. The driver of the SUV, a 28-year-old Roseville woman, was not injured and showed no evidence of alcohol impairment, according to State Patrol.
