CROOKSTON - A pedestrian in Crookston was killed about 9:30 a.m. today, apparently by a semi-truck making a turn from Robert Street onto Broadway, Crookston Police Chief Tim Motherway said.
The semi, traveling on westbound U.S. Highway 2 through the downtown, was hauling another semi. It was turning onto Broadway, a three-lane, one-way northbound street, when the accident occurred, he said.
The semi was being held in the Domino's Pizza parking lot, about three and a half blocks from the accident scene.
Motherway said the intersection has been the scene of vehicle-pedestrian accidents before.
"It's probably the busiest intersection in town," he said.

Motherway declined to reveal any information about the victim, but a Crookston radio station reported the victim was a woman.
