The caller said one vehicle was on its roof and the other was pushed into the ditch. When deputies arrived on the scene, they determined that a car driven by 18-year-old Shailyn Welinski of Holdingford was going north on County Road 3, nearing the intersection of County Road 17, and failed to stop for the posted stop signs. Authorities say Welinski's car was hit in the intersection by a pickup truck going west on County Road 17, driven by 33-year-old Ryan Harris of Melrose.

Welinski was taken by Life Link Helicopter to the hospital. A passenger in Harris's truck, 66-year-old Thomas Torstenson of Sauk Centre, was taken by Mayo Ambulance to the hospital, and Harris was taken by a private party to the hospital. The crash is under investigation.
