American Red Cross helps with flood response in southern Minnesota, southeast South Dakota
FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – As flooding continues across southern Minnesota and southeast South Dakota, volunteers with the American Red Cross Minnesota and Dakotas Region are lending a helping hand.
As of Tuesday evening, more than 120 people from the Minnesota and Dakotas Region branch of the Red Cross are helping communities impacted by the flood. More than 500 homes have been assessed while more than 1,2000 emergency relief supply kits have been given.
“That’s really what makes the Red Cross so special is we’ve got many people that care and are with people in some of their toughest times,” said Christopher Larson, a regional communications volunteer with the Red Cross.
If you’d like to help, you can volunteer, donate money, or donate blood. Those at the Red Cross say sometimes these disasters cancel blood drives and that can impact giving blood to those who need it down the road.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Sioux Falls police are investigating after two motorcycles collided on Friday night in the western part of the city, leaving both riders dead.
According to Sgt. Jason Montgomery, at around 9:20 p.m., crews responded to North Kiwanis Avenue and West Russell Street.
There, it was discovered that two motorcyclists traveling west on Russell collided with each other just before the bridge.
Both bikes struck a metal guard rail on the south side of the road, throwing both riders from their motorcycles.
One of the riders was pronounced dead on the scene, and the second rider was later declared dead at a nearby hospital.
The names of those involved have not been released. Any additional information will be shared at Monday’s police briefing.
