WILLISTON — A Williston man died from injuries received when his motorcycle struck a pickup north of Williston on Monday. He was the fourth North Dakota person to die in crashes in the state during the Memorial Day weekend.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol identified the motorcycle driver as Brandon Burkemo, 24.

According to the patrol, Burkemo, driving a 2003 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, was going east on Williams County Road 6 toward the Love’s Travel Center intersection, north of Williston.

The crash occurred at 10:35 a.m.

Burkemo was transported to CHI-St. Alexius Hospital, Williston, where he was pronounced deceased. Ray was not injured. The crash remains under investigation by the N.D. Highway Patrol.
