Four Injured in Icy Crash Near Perham

UPDATED

Perham, MN -Four people were injured following an icy crash just outside of Perham on Thanksgiving night.

State troopers say just before 7 p.m. Thursday, an SUV was heading south on County Road 125, when it collided with another SUV on Highway 108.

The official State Patrol report says that both drivers, a 23-year-old woman from Wahpeton and a 35-year-old man from Dent, were transported to Perham Health for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries and the Dent man’s passengers, a 42-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl, suffered minor injuries but were not transported from the scene.

One of the passengers, however, says the man from Dent was flown to a Fargo hospital, and the other driver and all passengers were taken to Perham Health for treatment of injuries.

The State Patrol was assisted by the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office, Ottertail Fire Department, and Perham Ambulance.
