(TWIN VALLEY, MINN) – A 41-year-old Twin Valley man has been transported to Fargo after sustaining serious injuries in an accident east of Twin Valley.
The Norman County Sheriff’s Office says it happened late Thursday night. Deputies received multiple reports of a male pedestrian who had been struck by a vehicle near the intersection of County Highway 29 and 460th Street, nine miles east of Twin Valley. A dog was also reportedly struck.
