An 86-year-old Austin woman was taken to Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin Wednesday after a two-car crash at the intersection of U.S. Highway 218 and Interstate 90.

Sally Forstner of Austin was treated for non-life-threatening injuries after her northbound 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser collided with a westbound 2010 Ford Taurus driven by Wayne Baldner around 9:08 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. Baldner, 55 of Brownsdale, was not hurt.

Forstner’s PT Cruiser was towed after sustaining severe damage, but the Ford Taurus sustained only minor damage.
