WINONA, Minn. — A teen-age driver took a turn too fast at a Latsch Island beach party and slammed into a tree. Aiden Michael Wilson, age 19, of Dakota, had a bloody nose and head scratches but was otherwise OK, police said. Police quoted Wilson as having downed three or four shots, apparently in Winona, and deciding then to hit the road for a joy ride across the Mississippi River. This was about 11:15 p.m. An auto-dialed crash alert from Wilson’s Jeep was picked up by the police dispatcher in Winona. Muffled in the background, the dispatcher could hear shouting and scrambling to hide alcohol. When police arrived, they found Wilson’s Jeep disabled into a tree. He had been alone in the vehicle.
