A central Minnesota man died Saturday night in a collision between a sport-utility vehicle and a tractor working on spring planting.
The Minnesota State Patrol reported that the crash happened at about 10:20 p.m. along State Highway 15 between Hutchinson and Dassel.
The Patrol said a Ford Escape driven by a 62-year-old Kevin Erickson from Darwin, Minn., was northbound on Highway 15 when it hit a planter being pulled behind a New Holland tractor that had just pulled out onto the road from a field approach. The tractor also was heading north on Highway 15.
Erickson died from his injuries. The tractor operator, a 56-year-old Dassel man, was not injured.
