New Road Signs

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has installed new flashing driver alert signs in Fillmore County, aiming to enhance safety for both motorists and Amish buggies. The signs are the first of their kind deployed by the department. The new alert system is located on Highway 44 between Mabel and Canton, a section of road characterized by narrow shoulders and guardrails. The primary goal of these signs is to increase driver awareness of Amish buggies present on the roadway, thereby working to prevent accidents and improve overall road safety. MnDOT officials stated that this innovative system is a pioneering effort for the department in addressing specific safety concerns in areas with Amish communities.

Snowmobile Goes Through Ice

A woman is okay after the snowmobile she was riding broke through thin ice. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office says the incident happened at about 6:20 p.m. Wednesday in the southwest bay of Lake Ida between Breezy Point and Lakeview Point. Twenty-four-year-old Alycia Stotesbery of Alexandria was operating the snowmobile when it went through the ice. She was able to safely jump from the machine and was not hurt. A Douglas County drone was used to locate the area where the snowmobile went through the ice. However, the location has not been marked for the public due to dangerous ice conditions in the area. The Sheriff's Office reminds everyone that, due to variable weather conditions this season, the ice is still unsafe in many areas.
