Bicyclist fighting for his life after crash with SUV in Hutchinson, state patrol says — Crystal Health news

A southeastern Minnesota man is fighting for his life after he was hit by an SUV while bicycling Wednesday afternoon. The Minnesota State Patrol says the crash happened just before 1 p.m. on Highway 7 and School Road in Hutchinson, about 60 miles west of Minneapolis. The driver of the SUV, a 27-year-old Brownton woman, struck the man while she was turning eastbound onto the highway, the state patrol says. The bicyclist, 61-year-old Mark Francis Pedretti, of Wanamingo, suffered life-threatening injuries and is being treated at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. The SUV driver wasn't hurt, says the state patrol, and alcohol didn't play a role in the crash, which is still under investigation. In: Car Crash Featured Local Savings
