personnel responded to a ready-mix truck that rolled over on W. Broadway
Avenue at SW 12th St. There were no injurires reported, said Forest Lake Police Sgt.
Greg Weiss. He said a shifted load could be the reason the Knife River

 Charise Kendrick (driver) and Constance Berger, both seniors at Forest Lake High School, were the victims of a mock car crash held in the north parking lot on Wednesday morning. Public safety personnel responded to the scene as if it were an actual vehicle accident. Agencies that took part include the Forest Lake Police Department, Forest Lake Fire and Rescue, North Memorial EMS staff, including ground ambulances and a North Air Care helicopter.
