A fatal crash in Beltrami County Monday is now being investigated as a hit-and-run incident.
The Minnesota State Patrol incident report initially indicated a Jeep Wrangler was traveling south on Highway 72 at about 10:50 a.m Monday when it left the road near Sunny Beach Road and rolled into the ditch.
In an update Tuesday, the Beltrami County Sheriff s Office reported there were witnesses who may have seen suspicious activity in the area of the crash, as well as in the nearby town of Kelliher.
CO Brice Vollbrecht (Bemidji) reports rescuing four young squirrels that had their tails tangled together outside a youth house in Bemidji. He was able to trap the animals under a box, leaving their tails outside so a piece of cloth could be pulled away from the tails. The animals were all safely returned to the tree where an upset mother was waiting for them.
