Rep. Bill Janklow was driving 70 to 75 mph Saturday afternoon when his car collided with a motorcycle, killing its driver, a state accident report shows. Janklow told authorities at the accident scene "there was a vehicle in his lane of traffic and he had to make an evasive maneuver to avoid" it, according to the report, which was made available late Wednesday.
