Two-motorcycle crash in western Sioux Falls leaves two dead

According to Sgt. Jason Montgomery, at around 9:20 p.m., crews responded to North Kiwanis Avenue and West Russell Street.

Both bikes struck a metal guard rail on the south side of the road, throwing both riders from their motorcycles.
One of the riders was pronounced dead on the scene, and the second rider was later declared dead at a nearby hospital.
