A man died after the SUV he was driving veered off Interstate 494 near East Bush Lake Road in Bloomington and crashed into a fence on icy roads late Saturday, according to Minnesota State Patrol.
Mark Henry Hall, 74, of Owatonna, was taken to Fairview Southdale Hospital and died, according to the State Patrol crash report. The Subaru Outback he was driving was traveling east on I-494 just before the crash happened after 11 p.m.
A woman also in the car, age 72 and also of Owatonna, was not injured. No other vehicles were involved, and alcohol was not listed as a factor in the crash. Both people were wearing seatbelts.
