Officials on Tuesday identified the man whose leg was severed over the weekend who was unloading a trailer in downtown Minneapolis when he was hit by a driver.

David James Ricklick, 24, of Lakeville, was injured during the incident shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday at S. 10th Street and Park Avenue, police said.

Ricklick was pinned against a fence after being struck, and “one of the man’s legs was severed,” a police statement read.

He was being treated at HCMC and was in satisfactory condition as of midday Tuesday, a hospital spokeswoman said.

The driver, Carlos Armando Mizhirumbay Quizhpi, 31, of Minneapolis, remained at the scene and cooperated with police, said Sgt. Garrett Parten.

Police are investigating the crash and have not made an arrest or cited the driver, the statement read.
