Three Injured in Highway 23 Rollover Crash
A rollover accident on Highway 23 near Florence in Lyon County resulted in three individuals sustaining injuries on Thursday afternoon, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
The incident occurred at approximately 1:34 p.m. when a 2017 Toyota 4Runner traveling southbound lost control and rolled.
The driver, a 38-year-old Marshall resident, and two passengers, aged 63 and 38, also from Marshall, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Two of the injured were transported to the Tyler hospital for treatment, while the third received care at the scene.
Emergency response teams, including the Tyler Police Department and Tyler Ambulance, assisted at the site of the crash.
470 Crashes, 30 Jackknifed Semis: State Patrol Responds to Winter Chaos
A winter storm last Thursday created hazardous travel conditions across Minnesota, keeping the Minnesota State Patrol busy throughout the day.
Between midnight and 8:30 PM, troopers responded to 470 crashes statewide, with 38 of those resulting in injuries.
In addition, 261 vehicles slid off icy roads, and 30 semitrailers jackknifed.
The storm’s heaviest impact was felt in south-central and southeastern Minnesota, where snowfall totals reached up to seven inches in areas like New Prague, Winthrop, and Kellogg.
Zumbrota and St. Peter recorded six-and-a-half inches, while White Bear Lake, Chanhassen, and Red Wing reported six inches.
The Rochester area received five-and-a-half inches, with five inches measured in the Twin Cities, Mankato, and Willmar.
As winter weather continues to affect road conditions, drivers are advised to exercise caution while traveling.
