PICKWICK, Minn. — A Pickwick woman rushing home after learning her house was on fire ran off a road and crashed — and her car erupted in flames. Sandra Kay Kauphusman, 6o, was still 24 miles from home when she ran off State Highway 43 near the Winona-Fillmore county line. Kauphusman wasn’t seriously hurt in the accident but required a side trip by med-evac helicopter to a Rochester hospital. The house, in Pickwick, was destroyed by the fire. A neighboring house was damaged. This was all Wednesday afternoon.
