2 injured during two-vehicle crash on Highway 34 in Clay County Wednesday evening

Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – Two people were injured in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 34 in Clay County Wednesday evening.

On Dec. 13 at 4:28 p.m., a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse, driven by 65-year-old Mark Wayne Howes of Pelican Rapids, was eastbound on Highway 34 when it collided with a southbound 2020 Ford F-150 pickup at the 230th Street intersection in Humboldt Township.

The F-150 was driven by 25-year-old Bruno Nevarez of St. Paul.

Airbags deployed in both vehicles during the incident.

Both Howes and Nevarez suffered non-life-threatening injuries during the crash, but only Howes required a medical transport. He was transported to Sanford Medical Center in Fargo for treatment.

Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the collision and law enforcement believes alcohol did not factor into the incident.
