Teen Suffers Minor Injuries in Stearns Co Crash

A 16-year-old driver suffered only minor injuries after a one-vehicle rollover crash in Stearns County early this morning, just south of Freeport.

The Sheriff’s Office says Ethan Fischer said he was driving northbound on County Road 11 when he swerved to avoid a deer. The vehicle went off road and entered the steep ditch and while Fischer attempted to return to the roadway, the vehicle rolled about two times before coming to rest on all four wheels.

The crash happened just after Midnight.
