MSP responded to the incident around 11:10 p.m. on October 13 at the Holiday Gas station in L’Anse.

 

When troopers arrived on scene, they discovered that a 43 year old man had been struck by a semi truck while filling up at the gas pumps.

 

The man was transported to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

The semi truck crash also resulted in a large structure fire.

 

A gas station worker was hospitalized with injuries.
