SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Sioux Falls police are investigating after two motorcycles collided on Friday night in the western part of the city, leaving both riders dead.

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

There, it was discovered that two motorcyclists traveling west on Russell collided with each other just before the bridge.

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.

The names of those involved have not been released. Any additional information will be shared at Monday’s police briefing.
