MOTORCYCLE FATALITIES DOWN

The preliminary totals show motorcycle fatalities are down 25 percent in Minnesota this year.  State Motorcycle Safety Specialist Jay Bock says we had 76 motorcycle deaths in 2024 and this year we’re at 57.  Bock says they are pleased to see that number go down significantly and hopes the trend continues into 2026.  There are around 400-thousand motorcyclists in Minnesota but not all of them are active.  All fatal crashes are down this year in the state.
