A two-vehicle collision in the west metro killed an Eden Prairie driver whose minivan ended up in a holding pond, officials said Tuesday.
The crash occurred late Monday morning at the intersection of Hwy. 212 and County Road 101 in Chanhassen, the Minnesota State Patrol said.
The dead motorist was identified as Kenneth J. Blumberg, 71. The other driver, 52-year-old Maryjane B. Lark of Norwood Young America, was not hurt, the patrol said.
According to the patrol:
Blumberg was traveling west on Hwy. 212 when he collided with Lark's SUV northbound on County Road 101.
The impact sent Blumberg's minivan into the pond. A dive team pulled him from the water, but he died later at a hospital.
