KELLOGG, Minn. — A 72-year-old Kellogg driver was gravely injured in a two-vehicle collision on U.S. 61 at the main Kellogg intersection. Kevin Christensen was taken five miles to the Wabasha hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was heading south, the other driver north. This was about 11:40 a.m. The other driver, Kara Ann Talledge, 35, of St. Paul, also was taken to the Wabasha hospital but with less serious injuries. The accident was on the four-lane divided highway at the County 18 cross-over into Kellogg. It’s been a problematic intersection with frequent accidents for decades, mostly with travelers in and out of a busy Kwik Trip fueling and snack location. Christenson was driving a 2021 Chevrolet Equinox, Talledge a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
