MANKATO, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Crashes with deer can happen in the blink of an eye, and late Friday night saw two such incidents involving motorcyclists.
At 9:39 p.m., 67-year-old Alfred Terrence Alex of Minneapolis was riding his Harley on Highway 68 in Blue Earth County when he struck a deer. Alex suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a hospital in Mankato.
