 A 22 year old man from Brainerd is dead after the pickup truck he was driving crashed in the Gull River just before six this morning. The driver was the only one inside the truck and was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity is being withheld pending notification of family members. The initial investigation indicates the truck was traveling west on Gull Lake Road and went through the intersection of Gull Lake Lane into the river. This is the second fatal crash in the past month at this location. Cass County Sheriff Tom Birch says in a press release that his office is working diligently with the county engineers in City of East Gull Lake to install safety barriers at that location to prevent other tragedies.
