A 33-year-old Owatonna woman was killed in an ATV accident in the southeast area of Houston County on Friday, July 22, according to a press release from the Houston County Sheriff’s Office.
Houston County Dispatch received a 911 call at about 11:30 a.m. for an ATV accident.
Houston County Sheriff’s Office, Caledonia Police Department and New Albin Ambulance Service responded.Â
Kayla Wimer-Wood of Owatonna, MN was pronounced deceased at the scene.Â
The Sheriff’s Office said it was determined that she was the driver and only occupant on the ATV at that time. Since Ms. Wimer-Wood was working for Carr’s Tree Service of Ottertail, MN, during the incident, the Houston County Sheriff’s Office is working with the Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) due to the work-related death. The accident is still under investigation at this time.
