Fund Set Up For Family of 7-Year-Old Killed by Car
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A fund has been created to help the family of a 7-year-old Montrose boy who was killed Friday when a car ran a red light and hit him while he was waiting for his school bus.
Hayden Solien died Friday morning.
Donations can go to The Hayden Solien Benefit Fund at Citizens State Banks in Montrose and Waverly.
Hayden was a second-grader at Parkside Elementary in Buffalo.
The driver of the car also died in the crash. Authorities identified him as 47-year-old Robert Mercier of Arlington.
Montrose is about 35 miles west of the Twin Cities.
