Ottertail City, MN – A kid riding a bike was hit by a car in rural Ottertail Sunday afternoon.
The Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to the crash at 42566 County Highway 1, southwest of the City of Ottertail, at around 4 p.m. Deputies determined that 18-year-old Ashtyn Wolf of Lakeville was pulling out of the driveway in her Jeep when she struck an 11-year-old girl on her bike.
