A motorcyclist died Sunday morning after crashing on a highway in the Anoka County city of Ramsey.
The Minnesota State Patrol identified the motorcyclist as David Borseth, 39, of Ramsey.
Borseth was headed north on Hwy. 47 about 9:30 a.m. when he swerved to avoid animals in the road. He lost control of his 2012 Yamaha near Green Valley, struck a guard rail and crashed, the patrol said.
Borseth, who was wearing a helmet, was declared dead at the scene, the patrol said.
Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, the patrol said.
