According to our partners at KVLY in Fargo, one man is dead following a construction accident near Crookston.

It happened at 8:30 this morning at an Enbridge pipeline pumping station two miles north of Crookston along Highway 75.

Officials say the victim, whose name has not been released pending notification of relatives, apparently tripped and fell behind a gravel truck that was backing up.

He died at the station of massive head and chest injuries.

well Dave, I think they have done a very good job of informing us (the public) of there project. Let's be fair. Without a radar gun, how can you really say there going 45 mph in a 25 mph zone. Are you an expert? And what's a shcool?

The speed that all their vehicles travel for this project is ridiculous, atleast in Superior. Want another story??? Come over here in Superior on Central Ave. where there is a shcool and residential neighborhood and see how fast they travel. Probably 45mph in a 25mph residential neighborhood. Numerous complaints and they do nothing!!!Surprised someone hasn't gotten injured walking home from school or backing out of their driveway. Kind of ironice they ask you to slow down by their sites.
