A motorist was killed in a fiery crash near Waconia after hitting a delivery truck and then a semitrailer truck, officials in Carver County said.
The back-to-back collisions occurred on County Road 92, north of County Road 155 in Laketown Township.
According to the Sheriff's Office:
A 47-year-old woman from Minnetrista was driving north on County Road 92 about 9:40 a.m. Thursday when her car crossed the center line and sideswiped a southbound FedEx truck.
The woman swerved back into her lane but crossed the center line again and hit a semi head-on. Her car came to rest in a ditch and erupted in flames.
Emergency responders said she died at the scene. Officials have yet to release her identity.
Neither of the other drivers was injured.
Officials have not said what led to the woman to veer from her lane.
