The southbound lanes of Minnesota will be closed at Northern Lights while investigators with the Major Collision Investigation Unit (MCIU) process the scene. Westbound Northern Lights is also closed at Minnesota as well. Please use alternative routes.

A third vehicle, a Chevy Trailblazer, was also struck as a result of the two vehicles colliding. No injuries were reported by the driver and sole occupant of that vehicle.

 Medics arrived and transported the adult female driver of the Pontiac G6 to a hospital with life-threatening-injuries. There were no other passengers in the Pontiac G6.

The driver, and sole occupant, of the Chevy Silverado remained on the scene and did not report any injuries.

The circumstances of the collision are still under investigation. No citations have been issued.
