In mid-September, two separate vehicle collisions occurred on Highway 61 in Minnesota. One morning incident northwest of Wabasha involved a car and a pickup truck, leaving a 19-year-old driver with life-threatening injuries. An afternoon crash in Red Wing resulted in the death of a 71-year-old man after his SUV crossed a median and crashed through a guardrail on wet road surfaces.

By early October, additional vehicle accidents were reported in the state. An 18-year-old woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries in Zumbrota after losing control of her car on Highway 52. Additionally, a collision between a car and an SUV on Interstate 94 in Albertville resulted in injuries to a 53-year-old woman.
