Minnesota authorities say a second person has died because of icy road conditions caused by the holiday storm.
The Minnesota State Patrol says a collision Thursday afternoon claimed the life of 34-year-old Robert Krensing of Fergus Falls.
Authorities say a minivan in Becker County crossed the center line and collided head-on with the vehicle in which Krensing was a passenger. An accident report notes the road was icy.
The driver of the minivan was unhurt. The driver and three other passengers in Krensing's vehicle had minor injuries.
Krensing's death is the second reported fatality in Minnesota associated with the winter storm.
The State Patrol says a 60-year-old Wisconsin woman died Wednesday when her vehicle spun into oncoming traffic in Renville County.
