Ripley Twp, MN (January 12, 2026) – Emergency responders from Morrison County and Mayo Ambulance rushed to the scene of a rollover crash on Monday morning that left two elderly occupants injured. The single-vehicle accident occurred at approximately 9:17 a.m. along southbound Highway 371 near milepost 7 in Ripley Township.
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, the 2004 Ford F-150 was traveling southbound when it veered into the median and rolled over, eventually coming to rest on the northbound side of the highway. The crash prompted an immediate response from emergency medical teams, who worked to assist the two individuals inside the vehicle.
The driver, identified as 78-year-old Patrick Louis Seglem of Brainerd, and his passenger, 79-year-old Jeannie Marie Seglem, both sustained non-life-threatening injuries. They were transported to St. Gabriel’s Hospital for further care. Officials confirmed that the driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, while the passenger was not.
The road was reported to be dry at the time, and no alcohol was involved. Airbags did not deploy in the crash.
An investigation remains ongoing to determine what may have caused the vehicle to leave the roadway. Our thoughts are with the Seglem family, and we wish both individuals a smooth and full recovery.
