Police say crash involving fire chief injured other driver

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A police report on a West Fargo crash that led to a misdemeanor charge against a fire chief reveals the accident seriously injured the driver of the other vehicle involved.

Mapleton Fire Chief Kayla Cross, who is also a battalion chief in Moorhead, Minnesota, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of refusing to take a blood-alcohol test.

According to authorities, the chief was driving across a street onto an Interstate 94 entrance ramp when she collided with the other vehicle on Nov. 13. Police said it’s not known which driver had the right of way.

The report says the woman in the second vehicle was taken to Sanford Medical Center with “serious injuries.” Cross was not injured.
