According to officials, the White Bear Lake Police Department and several other law enforcement agencies were called to a crash between a car and a motorcycle near Highway 61 and Highway 96. Once on scene, the officers found a 31-year-old woman with injuries. She was taken to a nearby hospital, but later died from her injuries, according to police.
