Halloween is always an exciting time of the year, but spooky costumes and candy corn can cause dangerous situations for drivers and pedestrians. Low light combined with costumes can make it difficult for drivers to see people and Halloween masks can make it difficult for trick-or-treaters to see vehicles. Stay safe out there!

On August 31 at 6:23 a.m., the Proctor Police Department responded to a single-vehicle rollover on Hwy 2 near 3rd Street in Proctor. It was determined a semi-truck traveling eastbound on Hwy 2 failed to negotiate a curve, rolled over and came to rest in a business parking lot. The driver of the semi suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported by Mayo to the hospital. No other vehicles were involved. Impairment of alcohol or drugs is not suspected; however, speed appears to be a contributing factor. Our thanks to the Hermantown Police Department, St. Louis County Sheriff’s Department, St. Louis County Rescue Squad and Minnesota State Patrol for responding and assisting with this incident.
