Story out of Ada, Minnesota:
A volunteer firefighter from northwestern Minnesota made a grim discovery at a car crash – his teenage son was the victim.
Randy Peterson, a firefighter in Ada, was called Sunday night to a two-vehicle crash in nearby Borup. Peterson had been unable to reach his 16-year-old son, Carter, as he raced to the scene. When he arrived, Peterson saw the car on fire and knew it was his son, who died at the scene.
Carter Peterson had dropped off his girlfriend that night and was headed home when he was broadsided by a pickup at an intersection. The other driver, a 20-year-old North Dakota man, was not seriously hurt. The State Patrol says alcohol was detected in the other driver’s system.
The community has rallied to support the Peterson family. Before Wednesday night’s football game against Cass Lake-Bena, the tribal school performed a drum chant, and each opposing player gave the Peterson family a hug and presented them with wild rice, a symbol of hope. Players from the Ada-Borup football team presented the family with flowers, photographs and his No. 63 jersey, which the school retired. Cont.
