Fatal Minnesota Car Accident Kills Pedestrian In North St. Paul

Posted by Minnesota Personal Injury Lawyer

A fatal car accident killed a 23-year-old woman in North St. Paul, MN Thursday night. As she was walking northbound, crossing MN Highway 36 at Century Ave., the woman was pushing her toddler in a stroller. She was struck by an eastbound passing motorist and killed; her 2-year-old child suffered minor injuries. Minnesota State Patrol Public Information Officer Lt. Eric Roeske told local news sources the crash happened shortly before 10 p.m. “A fraction of a second and the child would have been hit as well,” he said in a press conference Friday.

According to local news sources:

“A similar incident occurred around midnight on Oct. 16 last year. A 19-year-old Oakdale man was struck and killed when he was running north across Highway 36 at the same intersection by a driver traveling east who had a green light, according to the Minnesota State Patrol incident report.”

The intersection was closed down during Thursday night’s investigation of the accident.
