accident, the local police chief has said.

Tensions in nearby Minneapolis are high as the trial of an ex-officer accused of killing George Floyd continues.
In a courtroom just 10 miles (16km) from the latest unrest, proceedings resumed on Monday, with Derek Chauvin's lawyers beginning his defence.

George Floyd: Defence to set out case for Derek Chauvin
At a news conference on Monday morning, Chief Gannon played a short video from the body camera worn by the policewoman, which shows Mr Wright trying to get back into his car as officers attempt to handcuff him on the side of the road.
An officer can then be heard saying "Taser, Taser, Taser," - normal police procedure before firing one of the stun guns. Mr Wright is seen to get into his car and drive away, while the same officer says "I just shot him".
Fatally wounded, Mr Wright crashed a few blocks away.
"It is my believe the officer meant to deploy their Taser but shot him with a single bullet,"
Chief Gannon said, adding "there's nothing I can say to lessen the pain".
The officer has been placed on administrative leave.
