No charges will be filed in the fatal bike crash that happened this past July near Carlos.
According to Douglas County Attorney Chad Larson, after further review, there was nothing criminal found in the case, therefore no charges would be filed. He said darkness and having no shoulders on the road were factors in the crash.
A 14-year-old boy from Miltona, Blake Nohre, was pronounced dead after the crash, which took place shortly before 10 p.m. on July 14 on County Road 9 Northeast south of Carlos.
A second bicyclist, Nick Lambertson , 14, Alexandria, was taken by North Ambulance to the hospital and later flown by LifeLink III helicopter to the Hennepin County Medical Center. The third bicyclist, Jayden Tatro, 14, Carlos, was not injured.
According to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, the three bicyclists were southbound on County Road 9 when a Lincoln Navigator, which was also southbound, collided with two of the bicyclists.
