California man killed, 2 others injured in Maplewood crash

MAPLEWOOD, Minn. (FOX 9) - A California man was killed and two other people were injured in a possible drunk-driving crash in Maplewood Friday night. 

The Minnesota State Patrol said a Toyota Corolla jumped the curb on Highway 61 near County Road B East and crashed head on with a Ford F-150. 

A passenger in the Corolla, identified as 52-year-old Tou Moua of Fresno, California, died in the crash. The driver, a 57-year-old Maplewood man, and other passenger, a 45-year-old North St. Paul woman, were injured. 

While the roads were icy at the time of the crash, officials believe alcohol was a factor. 

The driver in the F-150 was not injured. 

The crash was one of over 300 that occurred statewide during the recent snowstorm, although it was the only one that was fatal.
