A motorcyclist was killed after a car pulled out in front of him. He was out of state, presumably on vacation for Labor Day. Today I hung my helmet in respect.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP)-An accident at Crazy Horse Memorial Killed a motorcyclist from Flagstaff and injured two other.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol says a man from the United Kingdom made a sudden lane change Tuesday in an attempt to turn into the memorial and pulled out in front of several bikers.
A Harley-Davidson ridden by 56-year-old Thadeus Baker Jr. of Flagstaff, hit the rear of the car. He was thrown from the motorcycle and then hit the back of another vehicle stopped in a turning lane and died from his injuries.
Two of the other three motorcyclists traveling with Baker also hit the car and were injured. Officials haven't yet released the names of the two injured.
The Highway Patrol says the investigation is ongoing and did not indicate if the driver of the car, Colin MacGregor of Scotland, would be charged.
