On May 24, 2025, a car crash occurred on Highway 371 near Susanville Drive in Crow Wing County, Minnesota, resulting in injuries to Kay Christine Wicks, a 55-year-old resident of Prior Lake. The driver, Eugene Arthur Glassel, aged 63 and also from Prior Lake, was traveling southbound when he reportedly felt unwell and lost consciousness, causing the 2019 Chevy Silverado to veer off the road and strike a tree in the right-hand ditch. Both Wicks and Glassel, who were wearing seat belts, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were promptly transported to St. Joseph's Health for medical attention. The Minnesota State Patrol is currently investigating the incident, with the reason for Glassel's loss of consciousness yet to be determined.
