A pickup truck driving the wrong way on Hwy. 52 near Zumbrota, Minn., crashed into two vehicles early Saturday, killing one woman and hospitalizing two others, the State Patrol said.

Troopers said alcohol was believed to be a factor in the crash.

According to the State Patrol, a 35-year-old San Diego woman was driving her Toyota Tacoma north in the southbound lanes shortly after 1 a.m. when she collided with the vehicles.

The driver of one of the vehicles, Larae Lynne Post, 60, of Rochester, died of her injuries.

The driver of the other vehicle, a 25-year-old Rochester woman, and the driver of the wrong-way vehicle were taken to St. Marys Hospital in Rochester for treatment.
