A 64-year-old man died Sunday in a motorcycle-deer crash northwest of Elk Point.

The name of the deceased is not being released pending notification of family.

A 2009 Victory Vegas Jackpot motorcycle was westbound on 319 Street when it collided with a deer that had entered the roadway.

The driver, who was wearing a helmet, was thrown from the motorcycle. He later died as a result of his injuries.

South Dakota’s Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
