At least one person was killed in a crash involving a car and a MnDOT pickup truck in Minneapolis Wednesday evening.
A Minnesota Department of Transportation truck crew was clearing debris on the southbound side of I-35W at 50th Street at around 8:30 p.m., with the Minnesota State Patrol saying the truck was on the right shoulder with emergency lights on.
As traffic slowed and merged to accommodate the DOT vehicle, the driver of a Nissan Versa allegedly overcorrected and lost control.
