According to preliminary reports, a 2000 Harley Davidson FLHRCI, driven by 69-year-old David Allan Knight of Burnsville, was traveling westbound on County Road 77. As he navigated around a county ditch mower, he failed to notice a stopped 2021 Kia Telluride, which was waiting to turn left onto Shadow Trail Drive.
