2 die on icy roads in Minnesota on Tuesday
Two people are dead after a pair of accidents on icy roads in southern Minnesota, including a teenager who's car collided with a snowplow.
The State Patrol says 17-year-old William R. Pete of Le Center was driving north on a county road south of Le Center when his car slid head-on into a southbound snowplow.
The snow plow driver wasn't hurt in the accident, which happened about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
In the other accident Tuesday morning, a vehicle rolled along southbound Interstate 35E in Dakota County. The Patrol identifies the victim only as a 40-year-old Lakeville resident.
The National Weather Service is warning that a mix of winter weather will continue Tuesday afternoon, bringing slippery roads and sidewalks.
