Blackduck man injured in crash dies

BEMIDJI—A Blackduck man injured in an early December crash has died, according to a post on a GoFundMe page created by his family.

Job Rivera, 26, was seriously injured in the Dec. 5 crash when the 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix he was driving southbound on U.S. Highway 71 lost control and crossed the centerline, where it struck the passenger side of a 2001 GMC Sierra traveling northbound, according to a Minnesota State Patrol report.

According to the report, the road was slushy and slippery and all three individuals involved in the crash were wearing seatbelts. Rivera and the two occupants of the Sierra—who suffered non-life-threatening injuries—were taken to Sanford Bemidji Medical Center.
