A three-vehicle crash on Interstate 94 near St. Joseph July 24 left an Osakis couple with minor injuries.
Duane Weberg, 74, and Mary Weberg, 73, of Osakis were westbound on I-94 near CR 2 at about 3:30 p.m. in their 2004 Buick LeSabre when they were hit head on.
Adam Storbakken, 19, of Fargo, was eastbound on I-94 in his Pontiac G6 near CR 2 but slowed down because of the construction in the St. Joseph area.
Alexander Ringdahl, 25, of Fargo, was behind Storbakken in a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis that rear-ended Storbakken’s vehicle and pushed it into the path of Weberg’s LeSabre.
The Webergs received injuries that were not life-threatening while both men from Fargo were unharmed, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
In an unrelated traffic accident on July 25 in Saginaw, a St. Joseph man survived a two-vehicle car crash while a Chisholm motorist died.
Before his death, Martin Jance, 52, of Chisholm was northbound in his semi with a trailer on Hwy. 53 near Shipley Road at about 4 p.m. when he rear-ended another semi driven by Joseph Faber, 39, of St. Joseph, who was unharmed, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
