Richard Lee Engelhart, 64, of Cresco, Iowa, was driving north on Hwy. 43 in Rushford Township when a car slid into his lane and collided with him near Fillmore County Road 106 about 8:35 a.m., the State Patrol said.
A 21-year-old woman, identified by the patrol as Abbey Jo Schnell of Spring Grove, Minn., was southbound on Hwy. 43 when she drifted off the road and onto the gravel shoulder. As she tried to correct, her vehicle slid sideways into Engelhart's path.
Schnell's vehicle overturned after the impact and went down an embankment, the patrol said.
Engelhart, who was wearing a seat belt, died at the scene.
Schnell, who also was wearing a seat belt, was taken to a hospital in Winona with noncritical injuries, the patrol said.
The highway was wet at the time of the crash.
The governor said it may be 2027 or 2028 by the time the market catches up to demand.
