A 21-year-old Niagara, Wis., man was killed Thursday when the motorcycle he was operating collided with an SUV pulling a trailer on U.S. 2 near Baler Drive in Breitung Township, according to the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to the crash at 2:19 p.m. and a preliminary investigation shows the SUV was eastbound on U.S. 2 and turned in front of the westbound motorcycle, which collided with the trailer, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. The SUV was operated by a 70-year-old man from Wausaukee, Wis.

The Niagara man was pronounced dead at the site. An investigation is ongoing.

Traffic was rerouted off of U.S. 2 as emergency responders handled the scene.
