Child Injured In Vehicle Vs. Cow Accident

An eleven-year-old boy was hurt Friday morning when the truck he was riding in collided with a cow.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, shortly after midnight, Royal Dean Larson, 45, of Windom was driving a Ford pickup east of Highway 1 in Shooks Township (about forty miles north of Bemidji) when he hit a cow in the road.

Larson was uninjured, but an eleven-year-old boy sustained non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Sanford Bemidji Medical Hospital.

Both the driver and child were wearing seatbelts. There is no word about the condition of the cow.
