Thief River Falls Driver In Rural Crash

Pennington County (trfnews.i234.me) — A Thief River Falls woman was involved in a two-vehicle crash Sunday afternoon in rural Pennington County.

The crash was reported at about 3:53 p.m. on March 2. It happened near 140th Street Northeast and 190th Avenue Northeast.

What Happened

According to the report, Brooklyn Kilen of Thief River Falls was driving a 2018 GMC Sierra. She was leaving a private driveway near the intersection.

Authorities said Kilen turned westbound after pulling onto the road. At the same time, a 2022 Jeep Cherokee was traveling eastbound.

The Jeep was driven by Kylie Delage of Goodridge. The two vehicles then collided near the intersection.

The brief report did not include weather or road details. It also did not list any citation information.

Kilen was identified as the driver of the GMC Sierra. Delage was identified as the driver of the Jeep Cherokee.

Both drivers were named in the initial incident report. No other people were identified in the short summary.

The report did not say how badly either vehicle was damaged. It also did not say whether either vehicle needed a tow.

Officials said there were no known injuries after the crash. No emergency medical transport was listed in the report.

That early detail suggests the crash did not cause serious harm. Still, more information could be released later.

Crashes like this can happen quickly on rural roads. Driveways and side roads can create short reaction times.

Drivers should slow down when approaching intersections. They should also watch carefully for vehicles entering the roadway.

Looking both ways matters even on quiet county roads. A few extra seconds can prevent a crash.
