The report says Lillie Lundeen of Oklee was driving eastbound. She was in a 2009 Kia Sportage, the report says. The Kia then struck Christianson\u2019s vehicle, the report says.<\/p>\n

Christianson was driving a 2003 Buick Century, according to the report. The crash was described as a vehicle striking another vehicle. The report did not list any injuries at the scene.<\/p>\n
