SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa (AP) - Hospital officials say a Spirit Lake pedestrian is in fair condition after she was struck by a pickup truck and dragged for over 600 feet.
Officials at the Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota say Tuesday that 39-year-old Kathryn Kline’s vital signs are stable and she is conscious.
Authorities say Kline was walking across U.S. Highway 71 in Spirit Lake with a green light Thursday when she was struck by a pickup driven by 87-year-old Earl Millikan, of Lake Park.
A police report says Millikan didn’t realize he struck the woman and continued driving with Kline pinned underneath the pickup for about 635 feet.
Kline was taken to a Spirit Lake hospital with serious injuries and transferred to the Sioux Falls hospital.
