MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A 55-year-old woman is dead after a two-vehicle crash in Crow Wing County.
The Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene after midnight Thursday in the 25000 block of County Road 3 in Center Township.
The driver of one of the vehicles, Deborah Pangburn, of Merrifield, Minn. was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the other vehicle, David Fleischacker, 28, of Fort Ripley, Minn. was not injured.
