A 36-year-old woman has been sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to causing a fatal head-on crash in Chisago County in March.

The crash killed her four-year-old son and injured four others while she was under the influence of methamphetamine.

According to court records, Ashlee Rose Klapperick, of Mora, was sentenced Monday to 48 months in prison. She will serve two-thirds of that term behind bars and the remainder on supervised release. Klapperick received credit for 224 days already spent in custody.

The crash happened around 6:18 p.m. on March 14, 2025, on Rush Lake Trail in Nessel Township. Deputies and first responders arrived to find a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze driven by Klapperick with heavy front-end damage after colliding head-on with a Chrysler Pacifica minivan. Both vehicles had children inside.
