Two-Vehicle Crash near Freeport

August 9, 2023 by Hometown News

On Saturday, August 5, 2023, at approximately 12:49 p.m., the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a two-vehicle crash near the intersection of County Road 167 and Long Lake Road, which is approximately two and a half miles northwest of the city of Freeport.

When deputies arrived, they located a 2012 Buick Verano, driven by Dorothy Austing, 80, of Freeport off road. Deputies also located a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by Brian Nightingale, 34, of Holdingford, parked on the side of Long Lake Road. Upon further investigation it was determined Austing was traveling southbound on County Road 167 and Nightingale was stopped on Lake Road. Nightingale then entered the intersection striking Austing’s vehicle.

Austing was transported to the Melrose Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The Stearns County Sheriff’s Office was assisted on scene by the Minnesota State Patrol and Freeport Fire and Rescue.
