The crash happened as traffic slowed near the roundabout, according to the report.<\/p>\n<h2>Crash Happened Near Busy Roundabout<\/h2>\n<p>Authorities said Brooklynn Wilson of Newfolden was driving a 2004 Chevy Impala northbound on Pennington Avenue. Investigators said Wilson\u2019s vehicle struck the rear of a 2013 Honda Accord.<\/p>\n<p>The Honda was driven by Diane Rud of Thief River Falls. The force of the crash pushed Rud\u2019s vehicle forward. It then hit a Ford pickup driven by Thomas Volz of Omaha, Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Volz had slowed for traffic before the chain-reaction crash happened. Police said there were no known injuries at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The crash created a brief disruption near the roundabout. That area handles steady local traffic each day. Drivers often slow there as vehicles enter and exit the intersection.<\/p>\n<h2>Citation Issued After Investigation<\/h2>\n<p>After reviewing the incident, police cited Brooklynn Wilson for vehicle brakes not in working order. No other citations were listed in the report.<\/p>\n<p>The case appears to be a property-damage crash. The report did not list any hospital transports. It also did not describe major damage beyond the three vehicles involved.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers are reminded to keep brakes and other safety parts in good condition. The <a href=\"https:\/\/dps.mn.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Department of Public Safety<\/a> offers safety information for drivers across the state.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can also view the area of the crash on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/Pennington+Avenue+and+Greenwood+Street,+Thief+River+Falls,+MN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Maps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This crash remained under routine review following the report.
