Snow and ice-covered roads may have been a factor in a crash Sunday that left three people dead in Crow Wing County.
The driver of a pickup was heading south on Hwy. 169 near Channel Drive in Garrison Township when he crossed into the northbound lanes and collided with a Dodge Durango, the State Patrol said.
Two people in the pickup truck, driver Lee Page, 59, of Coon Rapids, and a passenger, Lisa Brunes, 59, of Coon Rapids, died in the crash, which happened about 12:40 p.m., the patrol said.
Both had been wearing seat belts, but died at the scene, the patrol said.
A passenger in the Durango, identified by the patrol as Kari Hohansee, 51, of Remer, Minn., also died at the scene. She had been wearing a seat belt, the patrol said.
The Durango's driver, Jeremy Hohansee, 53, of Remer, was taken to Essentia Hospital in Baxter with non-life-threatening injuries, the patrol said. He was wearing a seat belt, the patrol added.
Roads were snow and ice-covered at the time of the crash, the patrol said.
