A teenage girl was killed in Fillmore County after a truck crossed over the centerline and struck the car she was driving on Thursday night.
The crash occurred on the stretch of two-lane Highway 52 between the cities of Fountain and Chatfield shortly before 9 p.m., according to the Minnesota State Patrol. Kaitlyn Hansen, 16, of Canton, Minn., died when her car was hit head-on by a GMC truck that veered into her lane.
The truck then rolled into the ditch, ejecting the unbelted 55-year-old Illinois woman who was driving. She was taken by ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital with non-lethal injuries.
The Minnesota State Patrol is investigating the incident.
