WRIGHT COUNTY, Minn. (FOX 9) - A head-on crash with a semi-truck left a woman with a life-threatening injury while two boys in the car with her were also sent to the hospital on Tuesday afternoon.
A crash report from the Minnesota State Patrol (MSP) states that a 42-year-old woman from Hamburg was driving a Ford F-350 west on Highway 12 in Wright County with two boys, ages 13 and 10, just before 3:30 p.m. when the truck rear-ended a Ford Taurus.
The Taurus, driven by a 62-year-old man from Waverly, was making a left turn when it was struck from behind by the F-350, according to the crash report.
MSP said the truck then went into the eastbound lane of the highway, where it crashed head-on into the semi.
The two boys reportedly suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and the mother suffered life-threatening injuries, and they were all taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, according to the crash report.
The report states that everyone involved was wearing a seat belt and no alcohol is suspected of being involved.
