A 60-year-old Forest Lake man was killed the day before Thanksgiving after he was run over by a snow plow truck in Roseville.
According to law enforcement, Kirk Almendinger was also plowing snow in a separate truck in a FedEx parking lot on Long Lake Road in Roseville Nov. 23 around 4:20 a.m. He got out of his truck to talk to Ronald Chrast, the man he was plowing the lot with, and when the men finished talking, Chrast reportedly put his truck in reverse and accidentally ran over Almendinger, trapping him under the vehicle. Paramedics used a jack to remove the truck from him.broadstreet.zone(48036);
