According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, Aaron Presnell, 37, was driving his 2006 Harley-Davidson motorcycle at the intersection of Highway 2 and 79th Street Southeast where he allegedly failed to yield at the intersection.

When attempting to make the turn, a 2006 Dodge Ram pickup driven by a 22-year-old woman from Minot, traveling south, struck the Jeep on the passenger side. The collision caused both vehicles to roll on their sides.
