Thief River Falls Crash Leads to Yield Citation

THIEF RIVER FALLS (trfnews.i234.me) — Police received a two-vehicle crash report at 12:10 p.m. on June 8.

The crash involved Highway 59 Southeast and a nearby frontage road.

The report did not identify the exact crash point.

Two Thief River Falls Drivers Involved

Sheryl Newman, of Thief River Falls, was driving a 2000 Mercury Sable.

She was turning left from the frontage road.

Deana Arndt, also of Thief River Falls, was driving a 2000 Chrysler Sebring.

Arndt was crossing Highway 59 from the west.

According to the police report, Newman’s vehicle struck Arndt’s vehicle during the turn.

No known injuries were reported after the collision.

The report did not describe any ambulance response or hospital treatment.

Police cited Newman for failing to yield the right of way while approaching an intersection.

A citation states an alleged traffic violation.

It does not represent a court finding of guilt.

The report did not provide details about vehicle damage.

It also did not state whether either vehicle required towing.

No passenger information was included in the report.

Road closures or traffic delays were not mentioned.

The exact site remains unclear because the media report lacked a precise frontage road location.

Drivers near Highway 59 should watch carefully for turning traffic.

Frontage roads can create several crossing and merging points.

Motorists should slow down before entering an intersection.

Drivers must also check for vehicles approaching from every direction.

Current road information is available through 511 Minnesota.

Traffic safety resources are available from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

The available report included no additional enforcement details.

The citation will move through the normal court process.

Any final outcome would be decided through that process.
