Child in critical condition after Chisago County crash, 4 others injured

A Saturday morning crash in Stacy left one child in critical condition and four others injured.

Chisago County officials say they received 911 calls about a head-on crash around 10:34 a.m. on Stacy Trail near Falcon Avenue. Authorities on scene determined five people were hurt in the crash, with four of them being in the same vehicle.

A 6-year-old girl who was a rear passenger in one of the vehicles was flown to an area trauma center. She is in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, according to the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office.

The other four people injured were taken to a nearby hospital and are expected to survive.

On Saturday, law enforcement said a man had been detained at the hospital and that alcohol was suspected to be a factor in the crash.

Authorities confirmed Sunday morning that Joe Campbell, 39, had been booked into Chisago County Jail in connection with the crash.

“Any additional updates will come from the Chisago County Attorney’s Office, likely via criminal complaint,” said a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office.
