UNDATED – The South Dakota Highway Patrol has identified two people killed in separate motorcycle crashes last week.
The patrol says 46-year-old Austin E. Dahl of Rapid City, the driver of a 2010 Harley Davidson, was traveling southbound on Nemo Road near Estes Creek Road. The vehicle left the roadway to the left, entered the ditch, became airborne and tripped, coming to final rest in the ditch. Dahl and passenger Jodi L. Glanzer, were both separated from the motorcycle.
The 49-year-old Glanzer, also of Rapid City, was life-flighted to a Rapid City hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries. Dahl sustained fatal injuries.
And in the second crash, the patrol says 60-year-old Joel G. Erickson of Montgomery, Minnesota, was the driver of a 1994 Harley Davidson Cruiser that was traveling eastbound on Old Hill City Road. The driver lost control and the bike began sliding on the right side, then flipped, coming to rest on the shoulder of the road.
Erickson was transported to a Rapid City hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
The highway patrol investigated both crashes.
