What Happened on Highway 71 in Browerville
The crash happened a little before 10 p.m. on Saturday night. Authorities said the teen was driving an SUV south on Highway 71 when it collided with a second SUV heading north. She was taken to CentraCare Long Prairie Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. The other driver, 34-year-old Jose Parra of Browerville, was not hurt. A teenage passenger in the girl's SUV was also uninjured.
What Is Still Unknown After the Crash
Authorities have not announced any charges. They have not released further details about how the two vehicles came together, and no crash report has been made public.
Investigators often ask nearby homes and businesses for camera video soon after a crash. Many systems record over old footage after a few days or weeks, so they move fast.
