Two Albert Lea residents were injured Wednesday morning after a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Minnesota Highway 13 and Fountain Street.
Nicole Lynne Storvick, 33, of Albert Lea and Rachel Carmen Wangen, 17, of Albert Lea were transported by Gold Cross ambulance to Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea with injuries deemed not life-threatening.
According to Albert Lea police, Wangen was reportedly driving a 1998 Mercury Mystique north on Highway 13, approaching Fountain Street and looking to move to the right-hand lane. A vehicle was reportedly in front of her, also looking to make a right-hand turn onto Fountain Street.
Storvick, who was driving a 2014 Honda Civic, was attempting to turn south onto Highway 13 and reportedly struck the vehicle because she did not see it.
The crash was reported at about 8 a.m.
Alcohol was reportedly not a factor.
