ST PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) – A woman hit twice in a fatal hit-and-run in the Twin Cities has been identified as 2010 Perham High School graduate Abby Anderson.
Around 7 p.m. Saturday, Anderson, 29, was walking near the University of Minnesota soccer fields in Falcon Heights when a truck crashed into a parked car, sending both vehicles into Anderson. She was struck again when the driver made a U-turn to flee the scene.
Anderson later passed away at Regions Hospital. The driver has been identified and is undergoing toxicology tests. The crash remains under investigation.
Anderson was a 2010 graduate of Perham High School. She was a part of the state championship 4x800m relay team in 2006, runner-up in the 1600m race in 2008, and helped the cross country team reach the state meet multiple times. She later ran cross-country for the University of Minnesota.
Anderson ran in the 2019 New York Marathon to honor her sister, Gabe Grunewald. Grunewald, who was a track star for Team USA and the University of Minnesota, passed away in 2019 after a ten-year fight with adenoid cystic carcinoma.
