An 18-year-old Prior Lake woman was killed in a single-vehicle crash early Saturday in central Minnesota.

Officers responded to the scene in Morrison County just before 1 a.m., where they found a car that had veered off Hwy. 10 and rolled in the median, according to the State Patrol.

The driver, whose name has not been released, was taken to St. Gabriel's Hospital in Little Falls, where she died.

Her passenger, Alexander R. Myhre, 21, of Mankato, was not injured. Both were wearing their seat belts. Alcohol does not appear to have been a factor in the crash, according to the patrol.
