Man Airlifted to St. Cloud Hospital After Osakis Accident

Scene of the accident in Todd County-Lake Osakis

The Minnesota State Patrol says a Long Prairie man was airlifted to the St. Cloud Hospital early this morning.

The accident happened just before 8 a.m. on Highway 27, which travels around Lake Osakis. The driver, 60-year-old Donald Jeffrey Rousu apparently fell asleep. He was driving his pick-up truck southbound when he crossed into the northbound lane ditch, hit a driveway approach and his vehicle vaulted into trees and landed upside down. He had to be extricated from the truck.

Authorities list Rousu’s injuries as non-life threatening.
