Stearns County Deputies Pull Two From Overturned Truck

KIMBALL (WJON News) -- Two people were hurt in a vehicle rollover early Sunday.

The Stearns County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to County Road 48 near 140th Street in Kimball at 4:30 a.m. The caller reported a pickup was on its side in the ditch.

Deputies were able to extricate two people from the truck by removing the windshield. The driver, 24-year-old Lyman Fuchs of Eden Valley, reported that he had fallen asleep behind the wheel while driving southbound on County Road 48.

The truck entered the ditch, struck a driveway approach, reentered the ditch, struck a road approach, swerved back across County Road 48, and began rolling. The truck ultimately struck a road sign and came to rest on the driver's side.

Fuchs suffered minor injuries. His passenger, 22-year-old Shelby Edwards of Litchfield, was not wearing a seatbelt. She suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Fuchs and Edwards were taken by Watkins Ambulance to St. Cloud Hospital for treatment.

The sheriff's office says alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
