LEWISTON, Minn. – Deputies responding to a report of erratic driving found a car that had smashed into a tree with the driver severely injured. Hope Elaine Kennsingten, 50, of Minneapolis, was taken 40 miles to a Rochester hospital. The crash was about 8 p.m. on County 29 between Lewiston and Interstate 90. Deputies reported finding an open alcohol container in the wreckage and obtained a blood draw. They said Kennsingten was incoherent, perhaps because of the injuries.
