A 41-year-old man from Eagan died Saturday when his motorcycle hit a car carrying a trailer in central South Dakota's Hughes County, according to the South Dakota State Patrol.

Maksim Deminov's Harley was headed east on Hwy. 14 just east of Blunt, S.D., when he came up behind the trailer, which was being pulled by a pickup driven by Quanna Hager, 52, of Blunt. As Hager slowed in preparation for a left turn, Deminov tried to pass her, hitting the trailer.

The accident happened just after 2 p.m. Saturday. The patrol did not say whether Hager's trailer had turn lights or whether Deminov was wearing a helmet.
