A horrific multi-vehicle crash on Highway 61 near Two Harbors claimed the life of 31-year-old motorcyclist Alexander Wayne Otis, after his group veered into oncoming traffic just before noon. Several riders were injured, but the two women in the struck Volkswagen Jetta walked away unharmed — a grim reminder of how fast things can spiral on the road. Authorities are still investigating exactly what caused the chain reaction. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
