One person is dead after two cars crashed Sunday morning in Clear Lake, Minn.

The State Patrol is investigating the head-on crash on Hwy. 10 in the Sherburne County city just southeast of St. Cloud. It's a route many travelers use when heading north to Brainerd and beyond.

Killed was Charles Burton McQuay, 77, of Foreston, Minn. He was driving a Chevrolet Tahoe east on Hwy. 10, according to the State Patrol, while Daniel Patrick Ferris, 60, drove a Ford Bronco west with Kristi Lee Ferris, 58, in the passenger seat. The Ferrises, of Mound, sustained injuries that weren't serious.

The two cars collided in an intersection, the patrol said.

McQuay was not wearing a seat belt, the State Patrol said.
