Multiple serious crashes in north metro Saturday night 00:45

PLYMOUTH, Minn. — Part of a north metro highway shut down briefly Saturday night after a driver fatally struck a pedestrian crossing against the traffic light.

The Minnesota State Patrol says the incident happened around 8:20 a.m. at the intersection of South Shore Drive and Highway 55.

A Subaru Forester had been traveling eastbound on Highway 55 when the driver struck a pedestrian in the intersection, according to the crash report.

Authorities say the Subaru had the green light and the pedestrian, a 70-year-old man from Minneapolis, had been crossing against the traffic light and had not been in the crosswalk.

The Minnesota State Patrol suspects the pedestrian may have been under the influence of alcohol.

No other injuries were reported.
