WINONA, Minn. — A truck coming out of Gilmore Valley crossed two lanes of U.S. Highway 14 at the base of Stockton Hill and overturned, killing driver. The State Patrol said the driver was a 68-year-old man from Fountain City. News media agreed not to release the driver’s name until the Patrol confirmed the family had been informed. The accident was about 7:25 p.m. The truck, a 2023 Freightliner, had just come up a slight incline onto U.S. 14 between Saint Mary’s University and River Bluff Church, across from Knopp Valley. There was no traffic on U.S. 14, which had barricaded in the morning for a six-month reconstruction project over Stockton Hill.
