A two-vehicle crash west of Redwood Falls in southwestern Minnesota killed both drivers, authorities said Wednesday.

The collision occurred about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday on Hwy. 19 near County Road 7, according to the State Patrol.

Killed were Kari K. Ouoba, 33, of Fairmont, Minn., and Alvin L. Wohnoutka, 76, of Milroy, Minn.

A passenger in Ouoba's car, described by the patrol only as a male, was taken to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale with unspecified injuries.

The car was heading east on the two-lane highway and the van west when the two collided and caught fire, the patrol said.
