The other bike ended up hitting the branch. Investigators say the impact caused both victims to be thrown from their motorcycles; they were both wearing helmets at the time.
Investigators say a 55-year-old man from Hudsonville died at the scene. A 47-year-old man from Wyoming was taken to the hospital where he later died from his injuries.
