Two drivers from our region were involved in a four-vehicle traffic crash in Northwestern Minnesota Sunday afternoon.
The State Patrol reports that around 4:15 PM, a Ford Escape SUV and a Chevy Equinox were stopped on westbound Interstate 94 due to congestion. A westbound Chevy Cruze passenger car that was also westbound collided with the Equinox, causing the SUV to spin out and collide with a Dodge Durango and the Ford Escape.
