The motorcycle was southbound on McKenzie County Road 16 when the rider failed to negotiate a curve in the road, according to the North Dakota Highway Patrol.
The 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck left the road, overcorrected and then rolled over. The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the truck, authorities said.
An 86-year-old Lake Lillian man and a 35-year-old man from Faribault, neither wearing a seat belt, died in a crash Saturday between Lake Lillian and Cosmos. An 83-year-old woman was flown to Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis with life-threatening injuries.
There were seven children and one bus driver on board at the time of the crash. The driver and three children went to the hospital, but are expected to be OK.
