OTTERTAIL, Minn. — This weekend on Otter Tail Lake, family and friends of Tyler Wohlers will gather to help dedicate a walking path in his memory. Wohlers, 21, was killed by a hit-and-run driver as he and friends walked on "traffic-heavy" Minnesota Highway 78 near Ottertail in 2019. No arrests have been made in the case. But now, a special paved walking path is there, designed to protect those who walk to popular fishing holes, all in Wohlers’ memory.
