Getty Township Crash

On June 15, 2024, at 3:31 p.m., the Stearns County Emergency Communications Center received a call reporting a single vehicle crash at County Road 13 and County Road 191 in Getty Township.  The caller reported a vehicle had rolled and was in the ditch.  All occupants were reported to be out of the vehicle.  The Stearns County Sheriff's Office along with Elrosa Rescue, Melrose Police Department, State Patrol and Sauk Centre Ambulance responded to the scene.

Further investigation revealed that a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer driven by Maynor Picado, 23, of Marshall had been traveling west on County Road 13.  It lost control in the curve near County Road 191 and proceeded into the ditch where it rolled.  It is believed that speed may have been a factor along with the wet roads at the time of the crash.  Maynor Picado received only minor injuries and was treated at the scene. The passengers in the Trailblazer, Carlos Gutierrez, 17, of Willmar and Luis Picado, 17, of Willmar, were transported to the Sauk Centre Hospital for minor injuries. No other vehicles were involved in the crash and all of the occupants reported to have been wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.
