A passenger in the other vehicle, 77-year-old Linda Rouse of Audubon, died in the crash.  The driver of that vehicle, 79-year-old Arden Rouse of Audubon, was taken to St. Cloud Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.  Another passenger, 74-year-old Janet Huntley of Audubon, also suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
