A tragic accident took the life of a young man from Leroy, Minnesota. He was driving a Chevrolet Impala north on MN Highway 63 in Mower County. Heading south on Highway 63 was a truck driver from Arlington, Texas. He was driving a semitrailer (International tractor and Wabash trailer). At about milepost 26, the car and truck collided.
At the scene were the Minnesota State Patrol, Mower County Sheriff Office, Olmsted County Sheriff Office and Stewartville Fire Department.
The accident happened yesterday, and the Minnesota State Patrol released the names this morning.
