One of two motorcyclists who crashed while riding together in central Minnesota has died, officials said Monday. The other man was injured.

The crash occurred around 2:15 p.m. Sunday about 1 1⁄2 miles south of Melrose, the Stearns County Sheriff's Office said.

The Sheriff's Office identified Aaron Schlingmann, 43, of Janesville, Minn., who was taken by emergency responders to Melrose Hospital and died there. Erik Buckley 45, of Owatonna, was treated at the same hospital for injuries that were not life threatening. Neither man was wearing a helmet, the Sheriff's Office said.

The motorcyclists were heading south on County Road 13, south of 360th Street, and ran off the road on a curve, according to the Sheriff's Office.
