Benton County authorities say a father and
daughter were killed and two others were hurt after the family's
minivan was broadsided by a car that failed to halt at a stop sign.


      Chief Deputy Troy Heck tells KNSI-AM it happened at County Roads
4 and 7 just east of Foley around 3:45 p.m. Tuesday in central
Minnesota.


      Heck says investigators determined a 19-year-old Pierz man drove
through a stop sign and slammed into the minivan.


      The minivan driver, 66-year-old Jerome Knutson, of Foreston,
died at the scene, as did his daughter, 41-year-old Ronda Bouma, of
Foley. His wife, 67-year-old Joan Knutson, suffered serious
injuries. The other driver was treated for minor injuries at the
scene.


      Heck says investigators don't believe alcohol or drugs played a
factor in the crash.
