Weather may have contributed to a pair of wrecks that left four people dead Monday.
The first happened about 7:20 a.m. on Hwy. 210 at County Road 142 in Oak Lawn Township near the east gate of the Brainerd Airport. The driver of a Dodge Ram pickup truck traveling west on Hwy. 210 slid across the centerline and contacted a westbound Honda, the State Patrol said.
The vehicles collided head-on and came to rest in the south ditch, the patrol said.
A 47-year-old man from Deerwood in the pickup and a 67-year-old woman in the Honda died at the scene. Their names have not been released.
Two people died in a single-vehicle rollover crash about 8 a.m. in Bray Township in Pennington County. The driver, a 68-year-old woman from Grand Forks, N.D., and a passenger, a 62-year-old man also from Grand Forks, died in the crash in the 325000 block of Center Street, the State Patrol said.
Their names have not been released.
Snow- and ice-covered roads may have been a factor in both crashes, the patrol said.
