RIVERTON — A 60-year-old man suffered injuries Thursday, June 30, after items from a trailer went through his windshield at Highway 210 and Forest Hill Road in Crow Wing County.

The Minnesota State Patrol responded to the crash at 11:51 a.m. near Riverton. According to the report, a GMC Arcadia towing a trailer was traveling west when items from the trailer became dislodged. The dislodged items fell into the eastbound path of traffic, striking and going through the windshield of a GMC Envoy, driven by Ross David Peterson, 60, of Albany.

Peterson suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported to Cuyuna Regional Medical Center in Crosby. The driver of the Arcadia — Michael Angelo Kollars, 44, of Brainerd — suffered no injuries.

The road was dry at the time.

Assisting at the scene were the Deerwood fire and police departments, Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office and Cuyuna Regional Medical Center Ambulance.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
