MOWER COUNTY, MN — Heartbreak has gripped the community of Winona following the tragic death of 27-year-old Jasmine Katherine Brown, who lost her life in a devastating crash on Interstate 90 Wednesday night.
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, the fatal accident occurred around 7:55 p.m. on I-90 westbound in Pleasant Valley Township, Mower County. Authorities say Jasmine was traveling west in a Chevy Traverse when her vehicle went off the roadway into the median, striking the County Road One bridge pier head-on. The impact caused the vehicle to roll multiple times before coming to rest in the middle of both westbound lanes.

Assisting in the response were the Mower County Sheriff’s Office, Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office, Grand Meadow Fire and Rescue, and Mayo Clinic Ambulance Service. Their coordinated efforts reflected the community’s commitment to service and care, even in the face of tragedy.
The Minnesota State Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, including possible contributing factors. Additional details were expected to be released Thursday morning.
Jasmine’s passing has left a profound void in the hearts of her family, friends, and community. At just 27 years old, she was a young woman filled with potential, kindness, and dreams yet to be realized. Those who knew her describe her as loving, vibrant, and full of life — someone whose smile could light up a room and whose compassion touched everyone she met.
As loved ones struggle to comprehend this sudden loss, the community of Winona and beyond joins together in prayer and remembrance, honoring the life of a woman who meant so much to so many.
