Burnsville man killed in crash on I-35W in Richfield

A 35-year-old Burnsville man was killed late Friday night in a crash on southbound Interstate 35W in Richfield.

Eloy Saucedo Gonzalez was southbound on I-35W around 11:15 p.m. Friday when his pickup truck hit the guardrail at the right shoulder of the exit lane to 66th Street, the Minnesota State Patrol said. The truck then crossed all lanes, striking a car and the left shoulder barrier, the patrol said.

Both vehicles came to rest on the left-hand shoulder, the patrol said.

Saucedo Gonzalez was not wearing a seat belt and died at the scene, the patrol said.

The car’s occupants, two Minneapolis men in their 20s, were wearing seat belts and were not injured, the patrol said.
