A single-vehicle crash Nov. 7 has sent a St. Stephen woman to the St. Cloud Hospital.
At approximately 2:49 a.m. Nov. 7, the Stearns County Emergency Communications Center received a 911 call regarding a single-vehicle crash with injuries near the intersection of 115th Avenue and CR 17 in Brockway Township. Angela Schaefer, 38, of St. Stephen was driving a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and reported swerving to avoid a deer in the roadway.
Evidence at the scene indicated her vehicle was traveling northbound on 115th Avenue, and failed to stop for the stop sign at the T-intersection where 115th Avenue intersects with CR 17. Her vehicle continued traveling northbound from CR 17 and collided with a tree approximately 150 feet north of the intersection, near the address of 11512 CR 17.
Schaefer was transported by Mayo Ambulance to St. Cloud Hospital for injuries she had sustained in the crash. Alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor in this crash, which remains under investigation.
