WRIGHT COUNTY, MN — Authorities are trying to piece together clues as to why a person was attempting to walk across I-94 west of Monticello, and then struck by two vehicles, thereby being killed Oct. 29.

The pedestrian’s identity will be announced at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31.  According to the accident report filed by the State Patrol, the person “walked into westbound traffic and then was struck by vehicle one and vehicle two.”

The first vehicle, a 1999 Kenworth, was being driven by a Canadian citizen, Ken Turton, 59, of Regina, Canada.  He stopped and made statements to investigative authorities.  A second vehicle also struck the pedestrian, but left the scene.  It is possible that the driver didn’t know he or she struck someone, reported WCCO during its Friday newscast.
