DENT, MINNESOTA (KFGO-AM) -- An Underwood, Minnesota woman who jumped out of a moving vehicle three weeks ago has died from her injuries. Kelly Petersen, 47, had been hospitalized in Fargo.
Petersen's husband, 44-year old Douglas Allen Petersen, was charged earlier with drunk driving and criminal vehicular operation.
Asst. Otter Tail County Attorney Heather Brandborg says even though Petersen's wife has died, the charges will not be upgraded. "Based on the language of the statute, the person has to have caused the injury or death of the person, and at this point, based on the information we have from the investigation, I don't know that we can show that Petersen caused the injuries or death of the alleged victim".
Peterson is due in court March 2.
