The forum for Becker County Board and sheriff candidates was hosted by the Detroit Lakes Area League of Women Voters and held at the packed public meeting room at the police department.
The road surface was snow- and ice-covered at the time, and it was snowing, with strong winds. The injured man was struck at a slow speed due to the plow driver's attention to the road in front of him and quick response to reduce speed as much as the conditions allowed.
