Deadly ATV Rollover
At least one person died in an ATV rollover in Morrison County. The Minnesota State Patrol says the incident happened Sunday just before 8:00 p.m. on Highway 28 in Culdrum Township near Swanville. The Polaris Ranger was traveling northbound on Highway 28 just north of 20th Avenue. While negotiating a left curve, the UTV ran off the road to the right. The two occupants were ejected from the machine. The State Patrol says they were not wearing their seatbelts. The driver was a 44-year-old man from Long Prairie. The passenger was a 45-year-old woman from Long Prairie. Their names have not been released yet. The State Patrol was assisted by the Swanville First Responders, Swanville Fire Department, Mayo Ambulance, and the Morrison County Sheriff's Office.
Gas Prices
Diesel edged modestly higher nationally, while average gasoline prices fell in a majority of states over the last week. Average gasoline prices in Minnesota have fallen 6.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.18 per gallon. The national average price of gasoline is unchanged in the last week, averaging $4.24 per gallon. The national average price of diesel has increased 4.0 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $6.34 per gallon. GasBuddy says the national average for gasoline will likely remain above $4 per gallon and diesel above $6 per gallon heading into the general election, with the relief motorists and policymakers remaining elusive, even as states have moved to cut fuel taxes and the Trump administration has pulled virtually every lever available.
SUV Rollover
A Sauk Centre woman was hurt when she rolled her SUV near Benson Saturday morning. The crash happened around 8:15 a.m. on Highway 9 in Clontarf, which is about six miles northwest of Benson. The Minnesota State Patrol says 42-year-old Megan Tengwall of Sauk Centre was driving south on Highway 9 when she lost control of her SUV and rolled near milepost 42. Tengwall was taken to Benson Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The state patrol says alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
