SOMERSET, Wis. (WCCO) – At first glance it may look like your run of the mill race.
Yet the Tough Mudder is anything but ordinary.
In this newest trend of extreme competition, it is a race where endurance alone won’t carry you through the over 12 mile course.
That strength was certainly put to the test, and all too often it failed.
Those challenges also got the best of me.
But with 29 total obstacles, there were other areas where some who shined in strength failed in balance.
And then of course, there were the obstacles that brought almost everyone down.
Two times during the race, participants had to endure the possibility of an electric shock.
Yet at every challenge, whether it’s running or climbing up a 12 foot wall, you can’t miss the camaraderie.
The race is designed so runners must use teamwork; finishing without help is impossible.
It makes completing the race a sweeter victory, sharing success in what’s called the toughest event on the planet.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) - A 4-year-old boy is in critical condition after being hit by a motorcycle outside of his own birthday party.
Andre Scroggins, the boy’s uncle, saw that horrific accident with his own eyes.
“It’s just a tragedy right now,” said Scroggins.
According to St. Paul Police, Tyrell Baymon was struck around 1 p.m. at Lafond Avenue, between Western Avenue N. and Arundel Street.
He was holding his mother’s hand, when a motorcycle hit him and threw him in the air.
Scroggins believes the motorcyclist was going at least 60 miles an hour, while doing wheelies up and down the street.
“He went flying! The guy just rammed him! He flew up in the air, and he just tumbled, tumbled like he was a rag-doll. He didn’t even look real. Oh, yeah, it was very tragic,” said Scroggins. “I ran to my nephew, and my sister she grabbed him. We called the paramedics and the police, and we were just standing there. We couldn’t believe it.”
Paramedics rushed Tyrell to Regions Hospital in critical condition.
His skull is fractured, and his ribs are broken too.
Doctors performed emergency surgery on him this afternoon.
He’s recovering at Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare, while St. Paul Police search for the driver who hit him and took off.
The motorcyclist is described as male in his 20s, with corn rows and a Jamaican accent.
The vehicle is described as a royal blue sport bike with front end damage.
“He just rammed him! He just rammed him! It was just shocking. I was like, ‘Wow!’ I couldn’t believe it,” said Scroggins.
Tyrell’s family is hopeful he will pull through, and they’re hopeful St. Paul Police will find the motorcycle driver who hit him.
If you have any information about this incident, please call St. Paul Police at (651)291-1111.
