DULUTH, Minn. – Wintry weather carrying strong winds, snow and icy conditions may have contributed to a highway crash in northeastern Minnesota that killed a woman and an 11-year-old boy.
The state patrol cited snow and icy roads in a fatal crash Thursday afternoon on Highway 135 in St. Louis County.
A car carrying four people was westbound when it lost control and crossed the center line, struck another car and was then struck by a third vehicle. Another vehicle then rear-ended the third car. Two people in the first car, 11-year-old Dakota Smith and 32-year-old Betty Smith, died in the crash. Two other children in the car were injured as well as the driver of one of the other cars.
