FARMINGTON, Minn. -- A teenager in Farmington died after falling off his bike Saturday in what police called a "horrific event."
The Farmington Police Department said 13-year-old Madden McKean was biking near 224th Street West and Canova Court when he fell off his bike.
Authorities responded and attempted lifesaving measures, but McKean died at the scene. Police did not specify the nature of his injuries.
