MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Authorities say the driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run crash in Beltrami County earlier this week turned himself in.
The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office says a 58-year-old man contacted the Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office Friday morning and identified himself as the driver in a Wednesday crash on Grange Road that killed Christopher Strong. Authorities say the man’s vehicle, a red Monte Carlo, was seized and taken to a law enforcement facility for a forensic examination.
Authorities are not releasing any other information at this time and said Strong’s cause of death is still under investigation.
