Crash near Brainerd airport leaves 1 dead

A woman has died after a crash near the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport on Monday.

A report from the Minnesota State Patrol says a Honda CRV was traveling eastbound on Highway 210 when a Dodge Ram 2500 traveling westbound started to slide from right to left and entered the eastbound lanes.

The Dodge then struck the Honda head-on, and both vehicles landed in the south ditch adjacent to the Brainerd Airport East Gate, according to the State Patrol.

On Tuesday morning, the State Patrol said 67-year-old Pamela Beebe of Brainerd and the driver of the CR-V, had died from her injuries.

Meanwhile, the Ram’s driver, a 47-year-old Deerwood man, was hospitalized at St. Joseph’s Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.

There were no other passengers in either vehicle.
