Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN (trfnews.i234.me)—On January 25, 2025, at approximately 3:03 PM, 26-year-old Megan Marie Breezee of Angora, MN, was involved in a single-vehicle accident on northbound Highway 169 near St. Louis County Road 5 in Balkan Township, St. Louis County.
According to reports, Megan Breezee was driving a 2016 Ford Explorer when the vehicle lost control on the snow- and ice-covered road, entered the ditch, and rolled. Despite the severity of the rollover, Breezee was wearing her seatbelt, which likely mitigated the injuries.
Emergency responders, including Chisholm EMS and the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office, arrived at the scene to provide assistance. Breezee was transported to Fairview Range Medical Center in Hibbing for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The vehicle’s airbags did not deploy, and alcohol was not a factor in the crash. Authorities continue to remind drivers to exercise caution on wintery roads, where icy conditions can lead to dangerous situations.
This incident underscores the importance of seatbelt use in reducing injury severity during vehicle accidents.
