Help Marshall’s Action Trackchair Win Minnesota's Coolest Thing Contest

Marshall's very own Action Trackchair is making waves in the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce’s “Coolest Thing Made in Minnesota” contest.

This all-terrain wheelchair, designed right here in Marshall, has secured its spot in the top 16 products.

Competing against well-known products like Fruity Pebbles and medical innovations, the Trackchair is a testament to ingenuity and purpose.

Created by Tim Swenson in 2009 for his son Jeff, the Action Trackchair continues to offer mobility and independence for people with disabilities.

Voting continues, and it's your chance to support this local innovation.

Every vote counts toward highlighting Marshall's remarkable contribution to both Minnesota manufacturing and improving lives globally.

You can cast your vote online, and by doing so, you help put the Action Trackchair from Marshall, MN in the spotlight!

17-Year-Old Airlifted After Failing to Turn on Highway 68 in Redwood County

A teenage driver was injured in a single-vehicle crash in Redwood County on Wednesday evening.

The accident occurred around 8:05 PM on Highway 68 near Milroy when the 17-year-old lost control of her Chevy Malibu and left the road.

The driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was airlifted to North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale with unspecified injuries.

Multiple agencies, including the Redwood County Sheriff’s Office and North Memorial Air Care, responded to the scene to assist.
