The State Patrol reports an SUV driver ran a stop sign Saturday night resulting in the driver’s death.
Minnesota State Patrol Sergeant Jesse Gabrow says shortly before 5 p.m. 77-year-old James Leonard Demarais of Foley ran a stop sign at the intersection of Highway 23 and County Road 66. Demarais was hit by a truck driven by 43-year-old James Robert Ladwig of Circle Pines. Demarais was thrown from his vehicle since he wasn’t wearing a seat belt.
He was pronounced dead from the crash. Ladwig was taken to St. Cloud Hospital for minor injuries.
