Hi, all: it has come to our attention that the day of DC’s graduation was listed incorrectly in this week’s paper. The ceremony is TONIGHT, Friday, June 2, 2023, at 7 p.m.

The Meeker County Sheriff’s Office received a report of an injury crash at the intersection of County State Aid Highway, CSAH 18 and CSAH 14 in Ellsworth Township, south of Darwin May 24, 2023 at 4:03 p.m.  Meeker County Deputies, MN State Patrol, Dassel Rescue, Allina Ambulance, and Life Link III all responded to the scene.  Deputies learned a mini-van driven by Gloria Ruzicka, 93, of Hutchinson, was traveling east on CSAH 18 and collided with a pickup truck that was southbound on CSAH 14.  The pickup truck was driven by Kyle Johnson, 30 of rural Dassel.  A passenger in the Ruzicka vehicle, Doris Stubson, 83, of Hutchinson, received serious injuries as a result of the crash and was airlifted from the scene to St. Cloud Hospital.  Ruzicka also received serious injuries and was transported by ambulance to Hutchinson Hospital and later airlifted to HCMC.  Johnson was not injured.  The crash is under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and the cause appears to be the result of a failure to yield right of way.
