APPLE VALLEY, MN: Emergency crews responded Sunday evening to a crash involving a pickup truck and a bicyclist at Cedar Avenue and County Road 42. At approximately 6:36 p.m. on Sunday, March 22, 2026, Apple Valley Fire, Apple Valley Police, Allina Health EMS, and the Minnesota State Patrol were dispatched for a reported collision. The incident had occurred in the southbound lanes of Cedar Avenue on the southwest side of the intersection.
Due to the severity of the incident and the need for an on-scene investigation, several roadways were temporarily shut down, including the right lane and right-turn lane of eastbound County Road 42, which were closed, and all southbound lanes of Cedar Avenue were shut down at 147th Street West. These closures allowed first responders to treat those involved and secure the scene, while the Minnesota State Patrol conducted a crash reconstruction investigation.
Traffic in the area was significantly impacted during the response, with drivers diverted around the intersection during the evening commute. All roadways were reopened around 7:48 p.m., following the completion of the State Patrol’s on-scene investigation.
At this time, officials have not released details regarding the extent of injuries sustained by the bicyclist. The cause of the crash also remains under investigation. This is a developing situation. Officials are continuing to gather information, and additional details, including potential contributing factors and injury updates, are expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
Limitless Media News will provide updates as more information becomes available.
