Thief River Falls Crash Leads to Yield Citation<\/h2>\n

THIEF RIVER FALLS<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Police received a two-vehicle crash report at 12:10 p.m. on June 8.<\/p>\n

The crash involved Highway 59 Southeast and a nearby frontage road.<\/p>\n

The report did not identify the exact crash point.<\/p>\n

Two Thief River Falls Drivers Involved<\/h2>\n

Sheryl Newman, of Thief River Falls, was driving a 2000 Mercury Sable.<\/p>\n

She was turning left from the frontage road.<\/p>\n

Deana Arndt, also of Thief River Falls, was driving a 2000 Chrysler Sebring.<\/p>\n

Arndt was crossing Highway 59 from the west.<\/p>\n

According to the police report, Newman’s vehicle struck Arndt’s vehicle during the turn.<\/p>\n

No known injuries were reported after the collision.<\/p>\n

The report did not describe any ambulance response or hospital treatment.<\/p>\n

Failure-to-Yield Citation Issued<\/h2>\n

Police cited Newman for failing to yield the right of way while approaching an intersection.<\/p>\n

A citation states an alleged traffic violation.<\/p>\n

It does not represent a court finding of guilt.<\/p>\n

Exact Crash Location Remains Unclear<\/h2>\n

The report did not provide details about vehicle damage.<\/p>\n

It also did not state whether either vehicle required towing.<\/p>\n

No passenger information was included in the report.<\/p>\n

Road closures or traffic delays were not mentioned.<\/p>\n

The exact site remains unclear because the media report lacked a precise frontage road location.<\/p>\n

Drivers Urged to Use Care<\/h2>\n

Drivers near Highway 59 should watch carefully for turning traffic.<\/p>\n

Frontage roads can create several crossing and merging points.<\/p>\n

Motorists should slow down before entering an intersection.<\/p>\n

Drivers must also check for vehicles approaching from every direction.<\/p>\n

Current road information is available through 511 Minnesota<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Traffic safety resources are available from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The available report included no additional enforcement details.<\/p>\n

The citation will move through the normal court process.<\/p>\n

Any final outcome would be decided through that process.<\/p>\n

No further information was available in the material provided for this story.<\/p>\n
