Weather may have contributed to a pair of wrecks that left three 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 hit a westbound Honda, the State Patrol said.

The vehicles collided head-on and came to rest in the south ditch, the patrol said.

A 67-year-old woman in the Honda, identified by the patrol as Pamela Beebe, died at the scene. The driver of the Ram, 47-year-old Donald Want, of Deerwood, Minn., was taken to a hospital with non-critical injuries, the patrol said. An initial report indicated both drivers had died.

Two people died in a single-vehicle rollover about 8 a.m. in Bray Township in Pennington County. The driver, 68-year-old Tina Klein from Grand Forks, N.D., and a passenger, 62-year-old Charles Hill, also from Grand Forks, died in the crash in the 325000 block of Center Street, the State Patrol said.

Snow- and ice-covered roads may have been a factor in both crashes, the patrol said.
