Passenger dies in Rockerville motorcycle crash

Posted: Updated:

The South Dakota Highway Patrol says a Rapid City woman has died in a motorcycle accident at Rockerville. 

36-year old Kimberly Ericks was the passenger on the Suzuki motorcycle driven by 38-year old Christopher Ericks. They were headed south, passing a Ford Escape Tuesday night around seven, when the Escape attempted to change lanes in order to exit at Rockerville. That's when the two vehicles collided.

The motorcycle skidded through the off ramp and rolled. Kimberly was wearing a helmet but did not survive her injuries. Christopher was not wearing a helmet but suffered non–life threatening injuries. The driver of the Escape wasn't hurt.

Police say their investigation is ongoing, and charges are pending against the driver of the SUV.
