A 26-year-old woman died when she was thrown from a pickup truck that left the road and rolled early Sunday in southern Minnesota, the State Patrol said.
Myra Ivehe Guzman of Fairmont was a passenger in a Chevrolet Silverado that veered off Hwy. 263 in Rolling Green Township just after midnight.
Guzman and the driver, Tyler Richard Byers, 27, were thrown from the vehicle. The patrol said both had been drinking and neither was wearing a seat belt.
Byers, also from Fairmont, was taken to St. Marys Hospital in Rochester with noncritical injuries.
Martin County is adjacent to the Iowa border.
