2 injured in Highway 59 crash Monday afternoon

Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – Two people were injured in a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 59 in Mahnomen County on Monday afternoon.

On Sept. 18 at 2:39 p.m., emergency dispatchers received a report of a single-vehicle crash with possible injuries near the Highway 59 and County Road 25 intersection in Pembina Township.

According to the MN State Patrol, a 2015 Nissan Frontier, driven by 74-year-old Stanley Milo Koich of South St. Paul, was southbound on Highway 59 when it struck a guard rail and rolled over.

Koich suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a hospital in Mahnomen. His passenger, 73-year-old Daniel Steven Koich of Eau Claire, Wisc., also suffered non-life-threatening injuries, but he was transported to Sanford Medical Center in Fargo for treatment.

Airbags deployed in the vehicle. Both occupants were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash and law enforcement believes alcohol did not factor into the incident.
