Scott County authorities say a surveyor working along a New Market Township roadway was fatally struck by a vehicle late Monday morning.

According to the sheriff’s office, the 44-year-old Minneapolis man, who wasn’t immediately identified, was hit by an SUV shortly before noon at Texas Avenue and 230th Street East.

Investigators say a 58-year-old man from Lonsdale was driving a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox north on Texas Avenue when he hit the surveyor.

Other motorists stopped at the scene and rendered aid until medics arrived. However, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Equinox was not injured.

Preliminary investigation didn’t find evidence that drugs or alcohol were factors. The Minnesota State Patrol is assisting with the investigation.
