Minneapolis man dies at Welch Village ski resort
(KSTP) — A 25-year-old Minneapolis man died last week after an accident at the Welch Village ski resort, the Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office said.
Authorities said that skier Walker Phenix Nelson hit a chairlift support tower a little after 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 1.
Deputies and paramedics were told by 911 callers that Nelson was unconscious. Despite CPR and first aid efforts, he was declared dead at 9:15 p.m.
“We are heartbroken about the fatality that occurred at Welch Village on the evening of Sunday, February 1st,” the resort told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. “We extend our deepest sympathy to the skier’s family, friends, and loved ones. We are grateful to our ski patrol, mountain staff, and emergency services for their swift response. We ask for your continued prayers and support for the skier’s family.”
Minneapolis police are investigating a hit-and-run that left a man seriously injured Tuesday afternoon.
The crash happened near Oliver Avenue North and Lowry Avenue North just before 2 p.m., according to the Minneapolis Police Department.
Investigators say an SUV struck another vehicle, which then collided with a motorcyclist. The driver of the SUV then fled the scene.
The motorcyclist was taken to the hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries. Police say the driver of the other vehicle was not injured.
No arrests have been made as of Tuesday night.
A recent FOX 9 investigation found that Medicaid fraudsters owe millions but pay back little with several other defendants discharged from probation after making either minimal or no payments towards their court-imposed debts.
A homicide investigation is underway after a person was found shot to death inside a car parked along the Mississippi River, the Minneapolis Park Police Department said.
Around 6:40 a.m. Sunday, officers from Minneapolis Park police and the city’s police department responded to a report of a body in a car at Mill Ruins Park. They found an adult with a fatal gunshot wound at the scene, as well as a firearm.
The Minneapolis Police Department’s Homicide Unit is investigating.
Police said the Hennepin County medical examiner will determine the manner and cause of death, as well as the person’s identity.
