Two motorcyclists died Monday in single-rider collisions on Interstate 90 and State Highway 12 in North Idaho, the Idaho State Police said.

Skoug was pronounced dead at the scene. Skoug was wearing a helmet, according to a news release. Later Monday, 61-year-old Lewis J. Doty of Kalispell, Montana, lost control of his 2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycle on Interstate 90 just west of Kellogg.
