A driver fatally injured in a rollover crash on Hwy. 19 near Henderson on Monday has been identified as an 84-year-old Cass County man.

Neil P. Johnson, of Longville, a small town about four hours north of the Twin Cities, was headed east on Hwy. 19 in Sibley County around 3:40 p.m. when his Ford Explorer veered off the roadway and entered a ditch, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. His vehicle struck a barrier and rolled.

He had no passengers and was wearing his seat belt, the patrol said.

Johnson was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he died the following day.
