Brianna Anderson was 44 and lived over in Kasson. On Wednesday afternoon around 3:30 she was crossing Heritage Place Northwest in Rochester when a car hit her. The driver had been heading south on Superior Drive Northwest and turned left onto Heritage Place. She was not in a crosswalk.
Rochester police got the call right away. Firefighters and Mayo Clinic Ambulance crews showed up too. They tried everything they could to keep her alive. It did not work. She died from her injuries a short time later.
The driver stayed at the scene. Police have not released that person’s name. Investigators are still looking into what happened. They have not decided yet if any charges will be filed.
Brianna came from Kasson, a smaller town not far from Rochester. Her family and friends now face the sudden hole left by her death. Forty-four years is not a long time.
People who knew her will remember the ordinary days and the talks they shared. Those memories are what remain. The crash itself is still under review by the Rochester Police Department.
Life can change in one turn of a steering wheel. Brianna Anderson’s ended on that northwest Rochester street. Her name is now part of the official reports.
The investigation continues. No further details have been released about the driver or any possible charges.
