A recent car crash in Morrison County left one man hospitalized and few details on how the incident unfolded. The Morrison County Sheriff’s Office reported that Joseph Griemann, 33, of St. Cloud, MN, was involved in a single-vehicle accident that occurred around 7:17 p.m. on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024. The accident took place at the intersection of Hawthorn Road and 158th Street, described by authorities as just east of Little Falls, MN, in Belle Prairie Township.
According to officials, Griemann, who was headed east on 158th Street, did not stop at the stop sign. Transported by Mayo Clinic Ambulance with unknown injuries, Garrett Wilson, 40, of Little Falls, MN, went through the intersection and ended up in a ditch as a passenger. Local first responders, including Little Falls Fire Department, were also on scene providing assistance.

Details surrounding the cause of Griemann's failure to observe the stop sign, including whether impairment or distraction were factors, are still pending investigation. Nevertheless, the accident serves as a stark reminder of the consequences that can stem from a moment's inattention on the road.
