A three-vehicle crash yesterday afternoon in Faribault left a Rosemount woman with non-life-threatening injuries at the intersection of Highway 21 and Highway 60.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol incident report, a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt, driven by 57-year-old Stephanie Renea Molstre-Kotz of Rosemount, was southbound Highway 21 when it collided with a 2008 Ford Focus, driven by 18-year-old Joseph Langer of Faribault, which was making a turn from northbound Highway 21 onto westbound Highway 60.

After crashing into the Focus, the Bolt then struck a 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, driven by 58-year-old Heimer Marty Joseph, which was stopped in the eastbound lanes of Highway 60 at the intersection.

Langer in the Ford Focus and Joseph in the Chevrolet Colorado along with a passenger in his vehicle at the time of the crash were uninjured according to the incident report.
