The drivers of two minibikes died in a Sherburne County collision late Saturday night.
According to a press release from the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office, the two were part of a group of four minibikes traveling east in the 13200 block of County Road 3 just after 11 p.m.
Two of the minibikes sped up and separated from the group. Investigators believe that the first one to speed up turned around to return to the group and collided head-on with the second minibike.
The two drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. They were identified as 28-year-old Foley resident Jake Christen and 30-year-old Milaca resident Derek Christen.
Investigators are awaiting toxicology reports to determine if alcohol was a factor.
