Jacob Charles Olson, 25, of St. Cloud was among three motorcyclists traveling Saturday at such a high speed that a police officer had to give up their pursuit, Lt. Paul VanVoorhis said.
Olson was riding a 2021 Honda CBR 600 motorcycle, which has a top speed of 160 mph, the State Patrol said..
The incident unfolded around 2 p.m. on Hwy. 15 near Hwy. 23.
According to the State Patrol:
A St. Cloud police officer tried to to stop the three motorcyclists but could not catch up to them "due to their high rate of speed."
The motorcyclists left southbound Hwy. 15 about 2½ miles later at S. 33rd Street. At that point, Olson lost control and hit a guardrail. He was taken to St. Cloud Hospital, where he died.
VanVoorhis said one of the motorcyclists stopped to help Olson and cooperated with law enforcement. The third motorcyclist left the scene and has yet to be found, VanVoorhis said.
