On December 28, 2019 at 4:36 p.m. deputies responded to a crash with injuries on County Road 17 near County Road 153 in Krain Township.
Judy Peifer, 68, of Sauk Centre was driving her 2001 Ford Windstar westbound on County Road 17 when she lost control due to heavy slush on the road. The vehicle spun out across the roadway and rolled onto its side in the eastbound ditch. Ms. Peifer was trapped in the vehicle. Freeport Fire and Rescue was able to extricate her from the vehicle.
Ms. Peifer was transported to the Melrose Hospital by Melrose Ambulance for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Ms. Peifer was wearing her seat belt.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash.
According to Sheriff Soyka, the road conditions have continued to deteriorate since Friday night. Our Office has responded to numerous vehicles in the ditch and crashes this weekend. We strongly advise people not to travel until conditions improve.
