A three-vehicle pileup involving two semitrailer trucks on an icy interstate in southwestern Minnesota killed two women Tuesday morning, authorities said.

The crash occurred about 6:30 a.m. on eastbound Interstate 90 about 5 miles east of Luverne, according to the State Patrol.

Traffic on that side of I-90 was brought to a halt for most of the rest of the morning as the two trucks and an SUV were cleared from the scene.

No other details were immediately available.
