A Minnesota woman is accused of causing a fatal head-on crash that killed an 82-year-old man. According to a criminal complaint cited by multiple outlets, the woman—identified as Dokken in reporting—tells investigators she did not control the vehicle immediately before the crash and claims her dog seized the steering wheel beforehand. The complaint also describes reports from other motorists who say they observed her driving erratically prior to the collision. Authorities allege the crash resulted from her actions and led to the victim’s death. The case is ongoing, and the allegations are disputed by the defendant, who attributes the vehicle’s behavior to her dog grabbing the steering wheel. Court records and investigative findings will be used to determine what happened leading up to the crash, including the timing of the reported erratic driving and the circumstances surrounding the dog’s involvement. No final outcome has been reported.
