Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – A 17-year-old Pelican Rapids teenager was injured in a single-vehicle crash on Highway 59 Tuesday morning.
On Oct. 31 at 8:02 a.m., a 2004 Ford F150, driven by 17-year-old Benjamin Steven Lyon of Pelican Rapids, was northbound on Highway 59, near Elizabeth, Minn., when his vehicle left the roadway and entered a roadside ditch during icy conditions.
The vehicle rolled over and came to rest near Pelican Street.
