The Minnesota State Patrol says a pickup driven by 72-year-old Michael Sanders of Geneva, IA was going west on Highway 55 near Watkins around 2:30 a.m. when the truck left the road and went into the ditch.
Sanders was taken to St. Cloud Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The State Patrol says he was not wearing his seatbelt and alcohol was a factor in the crash.
