A 51-year-old Woodbury woman has been identified as the person killed in a two-car crash Thanksgiving night in Cottage Grove.

Jessica Jackson was traveling east on 120th Avenue in her Chrysler PT Cruiser shortly before 7 p.m. when she "was struck broadside" by a Saturn Vue as she tried to turn onto Hwy. 61, the Minnesota State Patrol said.

The second driver, a 19-year-old from Eagan, was treated at a hospital for "minor injuries," the patrol said.
