The cause of a massive explosion and fire at a natural gas transfer station in Wright Township early Monday is still under investigation, a state police fire marshal said Tuesday.
“Right now, I’m trying to exhaust every possible means before I render my opinion,” Deputy Fire Marshal Ron Jarocha said.
North Dakota imposes new tests for Minnesota livestock
Since October 2007, four beef cattle herds in the northwest Minnesota have tested positive for the highly contagious respiratory disease. All were found within a TB management zone set up by the state in southern Roseau and northwestern Beltrami Counties.
Illegal alien caused fatal bus accident
You may have heard about an accident in southwestern Minnesota in which a school bus was rammed from the side by a van, killing four school children. After considerable heming and hawing, it has been confirmed that the woman who was driving the van, Alianiss Morales, is an illegal alien. Morales has been booked on suspicion of criminal vehicular operation.
It's a tragic story, with elements that, as so often happens, make little sense. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Morales has a "Minnesota identification card" but does not have a driver's license. I'm not sure what a "Minnesota identification card" is, or how an illegal alien can get one. In 2006, Morales was convicted of driving without a license. It appears that, not only does Morales not have a license, she does not know how to drive a car.
