WING RIVER TOWNSHIP — A Sebeka man faces criminal charges after a two-vehicle crash in Wadena County in which alcohol was believed to be a factor.
The man was in a 2008 Toyota Tundra pickup truck when he rear-ended a 2004 Chevrolet Impala driven by Julie McCammitt of Minot, North Dakota, at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 29, in Wing River Township, according to the Wadena County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash caused both vehicles to leave the roadway and enter the ditch. McCammitt was transported to Tri-County Health Care Hospital in Wadena by personal vehicle with non-life-threatening injuries. The man was evaluated by medical personnel on the scene.
The pickup truck driver was charged by the Wadena County Attorney’s Office with criminal vehicular operation-causing bodily harm while under the influence of alcohol, fourth-degree driving while intoxicated and reckless driving, according to the sheriff’s office.
The sheriff’s office was assisted at the scene by Verndale Fire and Rescue, Tri-County Ambulance, the Sebeka Police Department and John’s Car Care.
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.
