Harmony Township, MN (January 1, 2026) – Emergency crews responded to a two-vehicle accident that left one person injured on Highway 52 in Fillmore County. The incident occurred at approximately 1:12 p.m. near Milepost 10 when a Ford F-150 and a Honda Odyssey collided during a turning maneuver.
Medics and fire crews from Harmony Township and Fillmore County responded swiftly, attending to multiple individuals involved in the crash. According to reports, the driver of the Ford F-150, identified as 64-year-old Cindy Sue Krahn of Wykoff, was attempting a left turn onto Highway 52 when her vehicle collided with a northbound Honda Odyssey driven by 51-year-old Scott Michael Propson of Saint Paul.
While both drivers were reportedly unharmed, emergency medical services transported a passenger from the Ford pickup—24-year-old William Russell Krahn—to St. Mary’s Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Three teen passengers in the Odyssey were evaluated on site but did not require hospitalization.
Both vehicles had airbags deployed, and all occupants were wearing seat belts at the time of the incident. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, and weather conditions at the time of the collision were not noted as contributing elements.
Officials from the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene, and an investigation remains ongoing to determine the precise cause of the collision. Additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Minnesota
This recent crash in Harmony Township serves as another reminder of how quickly routine travel can turn dangerous on Minnesota highways. When a driver makes a left-hand turn across lanes of traffic, timing and visibility are crucial. In this case, the angle of approach and highway speeds may have limited reaction time, contributing to the severity of the collision.
Multi-vehicle crashes, such as the one on Hwy 52, often highlight the importance of intersection awareness and defensive driving, especially in rural areas where major highways intersect with local roads. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, left-turn collisions remain one of the most common crash scenarios, particularly on highways where vehicles are traveling at higher speeds.
The response from Harmony Township and Fillmore County agencies underscores the importance of coordinated emergency efforts in rural settings. Immediate treatment and transport to facilities like St. Mary’s can make a critical difference for victims suffering from traumatic injuries. While most of those involved in this crash escaped serious harm, the injured passenger’s transport emphasizes how even a momentary lapse in timing can result in significant consequences.
As investigations continue, families affected by such accidents often face not only physical recovery but also emotional and financial burdens. If road conditions, visibility, or other contributing factors are found, further safety recommendations may emerge to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
For those recovering from crashes like the one in Fillmore County, access to care, support systems, and legal guidance becomes essential. Whether it’s understanding insurance options, exploring accident reports, or evaluating long-term impacts, resources are available for those affected.
