Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – A man was killed during a two-vehicle crash on Highway 10 in Morrison County on Tuesday morning.
On Dec. 19 at 10:12 a.m., a 2006 Chrystler Pacifica, driven by 83-year-old Paul Anthony Yetzer of Hillman, Minn., was westbound on Highway 10, near 180th Street in Pike Creek Township, when it braked suddenly and attempted to make a sharp left turn into the median crossover area.
A 1994 Mack Semi truck, driven by 62-year-old Chad Robert Winter of Fosston, was following behind the Pacifica and collided with the vehicle on the driver’s side as it turned.
Yetzer was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Winter suffered non-life-threatening injuries during the incident, but did not require medical transport.
Airbags did not deploy in either vehicle and law enforcement believes alcohol did not factor into the collision.
