Multi-vehicle crash near Milltown, Minnesota, kills 1 and injures 2, officials say
According to a press release from the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the accident occurred on Friday at approximately 3:24 p.m.
Officials say northbound traffic had slowed to allow for wildlife to cross the highway when a northbound pick up truck swerved to avoid rear ending the slowing traffic. Despite the driver's efforts, the pick up truck struck a vehicle, "glanced off" into southbound traffic where it struck an SUV head-on.
The driver of the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene, says the press release. The driver of the pick up truck was reported to have non-life threatening injuries, while the driver of the rear ended vehicle was reported to have minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation by the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

Devil's Den Suspect Looked 'Soulless,' Says Hairdresser Who Cut His Hair
Adriana Ruiz Avalos says she unknowingly gave a haircut to accused killer Andrew McGann — and was stunned when he was arrested in her Arkansas salon days after the Devil's Den murdersNEED TO KNOW Hairdresser Adriana Ruiz Avalos said accused killer Andrew James McGann seemed 'soulless' and something about him immediately felt off She recalled his hair being unusually dry and matted as she began the haircut After learning who he was, she said the experience left her overwhelmed and heartbroken for the victims' childrenDays after a double murder at Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas, the man accused of stabbing a couple in front of their young daughters was arrested mid-haircut — and the stylist who served him says she had an eerie feeling from the moment he sat down. 'As soon as I saw him, as I was telling him to come into my chair, I had an eerie feeling about him,' hairstylist Adriana Ruiz Avalos said on NewsNation of the suspect, Andrew James McGann. Before the haircut began, Ruiz Avalos' aunt — who also works at the salon — asked McGann to sign his name. He allegedly stared back blankly. 'Something kind of didn't feel right,' Avalos recalled, based on her aunt's reaction. 'He looked soulless. He didn't look right," she said, describing his eyes as 'very sunken in' and his hair as 'very dry and matted.' Ruiz Avalos also offered a chilling detail about his behavior as police moved in: 'He had his head down the whole time. He really didn't say anything until they were like, 'I believe it's your car.'' McGann, 26, walked into Lupita's Beauty Salon in Springdale, Ark., on July 30, nearly five days after police allege he fatally stabbed Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, while they hiked with their daughters, ages 7 and 9. Ruiz Avalos said a hairdressing cape was still around McGann's neck when officers handcuffed him. The Brink's daughters survived and ran for help, providing descriptions that helped lead investigators to McGann. Authorities matched a black Kia Stinger seen near the park and DNA evidence to McGann after surveillance footage placed him at the scene.

Police have not disclosed a motive, saying in a press conference the attack appeared entirely random. McGann did not enter a plea at his Friday morning hearing and is being held without bond. Now, as she grapples with the shock of having once been so close to someone accused of such brutality, Ruiz Avalos says she's still processing what happened. 'It does take a toll on someone. I'm just overwhelmed. I'm saddened because two little girls lost their parents," she said. "And it's … a soulless act by Andrew. It's unimaginable." Read the original article on People

WATCH: Trump says he is hopeful Hillary Clinton will be investigated for election fraud
Speaking with reporters on Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump expressed that he is hopeful former presidential opponent Hillary Clinton will finally be investigated for election fraud. Shortly before departing for New Jersey, Trump was asked by a reporter, "Will Hillary Clinton finally be investigated for election fraud?" Trump answered, "I hope so, I hope so. I don't know whether or not that'll happen, but I hope so." During his brief exchange with reporters outside the White House, Trump also repeatedly criticized Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, whom he recently removed. The president connected his recent decision to fire McEntarfer, whom he accused of falsifying jobs report numbers, to efforts to sway previous elections against him. "You have to have honest reports and when you look at those numbers or when you look at just before the election and then after the election, they corrected it by 8 or 900,000 jobs," he said. "Why should anybody trust numbers? You go back to election day. Look what happened 2 or 3 days before with massive, wonderful jobs numbers, trying to get him elected or her elected, trying to get whoever the hell was running because you go back and they came out with numbers that were very favorable to Kamala," he went on. "And then on the 15th of November or thereabouts, they added 8 or 900,000 overstatement reduction right after the election." Addressing a reporter directly, Trump added, "It didn't work because, you know who won, John? I won." Trump's comments regarding Clinton hearken back all the way to his first presidential campaign during which he warned that if he were president he would get his attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her behavior. In one of the 2016 debates Trump famously quipped to Clinton that if he was president: "you'd be in jail." As president, however, Trump has not moved to prosecute Clinton, who served as former President Barack Obama's secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. This July, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released evidence that she said suggest the Obama administration promoted a "contrived narrative" that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. "There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false," Gabbard said. "They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn't." "We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI, to investigate the criminal implications of this for the evidence," Gabbard said. "The evidence that we have found, and that we have released, directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact." In a July interview, Trump described the Russiagate allegations against Obama and members of his administration as "serious treason." "What they've done is so bad for this country. And it really started right at the 2016 election," Trump claimed of Gabbard's findings. "And there's a difference when you know it — and when you know it, and it's all written down for you. I mean, it's all there. It's right there. The orders, the memos, the whole thing. It's right there."
