Police chief: Video shows Fargo Marathon director lose control of bike, fall into traffic

A resident's home security footage shows Mark Knutson, the general manager of a Detroit Lakes ski resort and director of the Fargo Marathon, lose control of his bicycle and fall into the path of a passing boat trailer early Sunday morning, according to Detroit Lakes Police Chief Steve Todd.

Knutson, 53, was struck just after 7 a.m. while biking westbound on South Shore Drive in Detroit Lakes, just west of the intersection with Muir Lane on the southeast side of Detroit Lake. He was flown by helicopter to Sanford Hospital in Fargo, where he died.

The video corroborates the statement of the driver, Todd said in a news release sent Tuesday. On Monday, Todd identified the driver as a 42-year-old man from Fargo.
