A FedEx semitrailer truck and an SUV collided on a two-lane road Tuesday afternoon in rural Dakota County, leaving at least one person dead.
The crash happened at about 2:35 p.m. on Foliage Avenue north of W. 307th Street in Greenvale Township, not far from Northfield, Minn., the Dakota County Sheriff's Office said.
The sheriff's office confirmed the crash resulted in a death, but it did not say who died or if there were other injuries. No other details were immediately released.
The road was closed for a few hours as authorities investigated.
"Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends who are mourning their loved one lost in this accident," FedEx said in a statement. "We are cooperating fully with investigating authorities."
