GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - The search for a missing Britton, S.D.,
man who apparently got lost in dense fog has a happy ending as he
was discovered more than 300 miles from home in Minnesota.
Eighty-two-year-old Leonard Johnson was discovered a nearly
six-hour drive from home in Grand Rapids, Minn. He hadn't been
seen since Friday. Police and motorists had been asked to keep
watch out for his vehicle - a blue 1990 Ford F-150 truck.
A man matching his description was reported being seen at a car
dealership early Saturday asking for directions.
Officials say Johnson might have gotten turned around by the
day's dense fog. Further details weren't immediately available.
