A woman from Buffalo was killed in a Thursday morning car vs. bus crash near the Buffalo Walmart.
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, a 2002 Buick LeSabre driven by 96-year-old Floyd Sawatzke was turning left from northbound Highway 25 into the Walmart parking lot when it collided with a southbound Ford Econoline Bus, driven by 29-year-old Kortnie Rhoads of Big Lake.
Killed in the crash was the passenger in the Buick LeSabre, 91-year-old Laura Hoffman of Buffalo. It is not known whether she or the driver of the Buick were wearing their seatbelts, and alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
