Two vehicles collided in Lamberton Sunday morning when a 50+ year old pickup’s engine stopped.

At about 8:40 a.m. on May 9, the Redwood County Sheriff’s Office was called to the scene of a collision at the intersection of Birch St. and Eighth Avenue in Lamberton.

The driver of the pickup, Brandon Joseph Juenemann, age 31, of Lamberton, stated he was trying to move his truck from the side of the road, and was turning off the curb when the pickup’s engine quit.
