Brake Failure to Blame for Crash

A possible brake failure may have been to blame for a truck crash last month outside of McGregor. In the afternoon of July 21, Minnesota State Patrol say that a pickup truck attempted to make a right turn and ended up going into a ditch, coming to rest on the driver’s side. The driver, 51-year-old Scott William Furness of McGregor, was injured in the crash. He was transported to the hospital in Aitkin and expected to make a full recovery. A passenger was uninjured. Both men were wearing seatbelts and the State Patrol say alcohol was not a factor.
