Butterfield, MN (September 23, 2024) – A traffic accident occurred on September 23, 2024, at the intersection of HWY 60 and 650th Avenue in Butterfield Township, Watonwan County. Preliminary reports indicate that the incident involved a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander and a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country, resulting in injuries to several individuals.
According to the information available, the Mitsubishi Outlander was traveling westbound on HWY 60 when it collided with the Chrysler Town and Country, which was heading southbound on County Road 5. The road conditions were reported as dry at the time of the accident, which likely contributed to the visibility and maneuverability for both drivers.

Both drivers sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to local hospitals for medical care.
