A moose is dead after being struck by two sports utility vehicles in northwestern Minnesota.
The State Patrol says an SUV pulling a boat hit the moose "square on" shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday east of Crookston. The SUV rolled in the ditch, and the moose came to rest in the northbound lane.
The moose was then hit by a second SUV, which also went off the road.
The Crookston Daily Times reports both drivers and their passengers were wearing seat belts and apparently were not hurt.
