FARGO (KFGO) – A 14-year-old girl is hospitalized in Fargo after the horse she was riding ran into a train southeast of Mandator.
Richland County Sheriff Gary Ruhl says the girl was flown to Sanford Medical Center by AirMed with critical injuries.
Ruhl says it happened shortly before 4:30 p.m. Sunday at a rail crossing. He says the horse may have been spooked by the train or the locomotive’s whistle. The train is owned by CP Rail.
The Mantador Fire Dept., Hankinson Ambulance, Breckenridge-Wahpeton Ambulance Service and sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene. The girl’s name has not been released. She’s from rural Hankinson.
