Agram Twp., MN (August 12, 2026) – Two drivers were injured on Tuesday afternoon, August 11, in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 27 near 242nd Avenue in Morrison County. The crash occurred at approximately 2:10 p.m.
A 2017 Chevrolet Malibu was traveling west on Highway 27 when it crossed the center line near 242nd Avenue and collided with an eastbound 2017 GMC Terrain. The Malibu came to rest facing south, while the Terrain stopped facing east.
The Malibu driver, a 20-year-old woman from Pierz, and the Terrain driver, a 75-year-old woman from Onamia, both suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Each was taken to St. Gabriel’s Hospital in Little Falls. The collision remains under review.
We hope both women recover steadily.
How Lane Departures Can Lead to Serious Impacts
Vehicles traveling in opposite directions can close distance quickly when one crosses the center line. Drivers may have only seconds to brake, steer away, or reduce the force of an approaching impact.
Contact between opposing vehicles can produce strong forward and sideways movement inside the cabin. Seat belts and airbags can limit some movement, but occupants may still experience injuries to the head, neck, chest, back, or limbs.
Travel speed, vehicle size, contact angle, and the amount of time available to react can influence injury severity. Even when injuries are considered non-life-threatening, medical evaluation may be needed to identify fractures, strains, concussion, or internal trauma.
