Lakeville Man Dies from Injuries Suffered in Crash During Outlaw Run

A Lakeville man who was seriously injured in a crash during Saturday’s Outlaw Run motorcycle fundraising event has died from his injuries.

A death notice for Dustin Rahier, 38, appeared Sunday on the White Funeral Home website.

The crash happened shortly before noon Saturday on Highway 50 near Holt Avenue in New Trier, says the Minnesota State Patrol.

According to a state patrol incident report, Rahier was popping wheelies on his motorcycle while heading eastbound on Highway 50. When traffic in front of him slowed, he braked hard on his motorcycle, causing the motorcycle to roll.

In its sixth year, the Outlaw Run raises money for the historical society’s youth programs. More than 200 people took part in this year's event.

(NOTE: Patch will have more on the event in a future post.)

Northfield Historical Society Executive Director Hayes Scriven told the Northfield News that two emergency medical technicians assisting with the event treated Rahier until emergency responders arrived on the scene. Rahier then was airlifted to the hospital.

The Dakota County Sheriff’s Department is assisting the state patrol in its investigation, according to the incident report.

Here is the death notice for Rahier:
