The 64-year-old man was driving north through a construction zone in a GMC Acadia when he allegedly hit the 27-year-old construction worker late Friday, according to a Minnesota State Patrol incident report. The man allegedly continued driving but was stopped and arrested near Moose Lake. Road conditions were dry, the patrol said.
State Patrol arrested the man on suspicion of fourth-degree driving while impaired and failing to stop after involvement in the collision, according to the roster of the Pine County jail, where he was booked. The Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.
The construction worker suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Essentia Health-Sandstone.
Republicans across the country benefited from favorable tailwinds as President-elect Donald Trump resoundingly defeated Democrat Kamala Harris. But that wasn’t the whole story in Minnesota.
