A motorcyclist traveling the wrong way on a freeway just north of downtown Minneapolis died in a head-on crash Sunday night.
The State Patrol identified the victim as Sergio Jaime Silva, 26, of Faribault.
Silva was traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 94 near West Broadway Avenue when he collided with an oncoming Kia Stinger about 9:08 p.m., the patrol said.
