Moorhead mother and father file Civil Rights Lawsuit in teenagers deadly 2015 crash on I-94 | The Mighty 790 KFGO

Kvalvog brothers

MOORHEAD (KFGO) – The parents of two teenage Moorheads who were killed in a tragic crash on I-94 in June 2015 en route to a basketball tournament are filing a civil rights lawsuit in Minnesota District Court.

Ray and Kathie Kvalvog’s lawsuit is against Minnesota State Patrol, Park Christian School, former Park Christian basketball coach Josh Lee, and former football coach Tim Kerr.

18-year-old Zachary Kvalvog was driving his father’s pickup truck with his 14-year-old brother Connor and two teammates when they crashed near Dalton, Minnesota. The brothers both died while teammates were injured but survived. The Minnesota State Patrol found that Zachary was trying to overtake a semi when it overcrowded its lane, causing it to dodge, overcorrect, and roll.

The lawsuit alleges that the crash reconstruction report was intentionally misleading and inaccurate and that a patrol sergeant prepared a report to divert attention from his friends at Park Christian.

In 2019, the Kvalvogs lost a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Park Christian and Lee.
