BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Authorities say a Minnesota man was killed and his wife was injured in a motorcycle crash in Bozeman.

Gallatin County deputy coroner Dan Springer identified the man who died as 55-year-old David Erickson.

Trooper Erick Fetterhoff says Erickson was going north on Bridger Canyon Road just after 4 p.m. Wednesday when his bike drifted off the road, went over an embankment and hit several rocks. Erickson's wife, who was a passenger, suffered minor injuries.

Neither alcohol nor speed were factors in the crash.
