A pickup truck went off an icy road in central Minnesota and rolled over, killing the driver, authorities said.
The crash occurred shortly after 3 p.m. Saturday as the pickup was heading north on the bypass connecting Hwy. 71 to Hwy. 23, about halfway between Willmar and Spicer, according to the State Patrol.
The driver, a 49-year-old man from Gary, S.D., was killed, the patrol said. His 55-year-old wife was not hurt. Both were wearing seat belts, according to the patrol.
Identities were being withheld pending notification of family.
