Crookston police recover pickup from Red Lake River

Law enforcement authorities have recovered the pickup that ended up in the Red Lake River at Crookston on Friday.  Crookston police responded to a report that a female with wet clothing walked into the Public Library stating she drove into the river. 

Over the weekend the Polk County Sheriff’s office – with assistance from the Grand Forks County Water and rescue dive team – recovered the pickup.  The Polk County S-O says the female driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle.  The woman apparently suffered a medical episode while driving.  She has since been released from the hospital.
