An 82-year-old woman from central Minnesota was killed Friday morning when her compact SUV hit a semitrailer truck in Kandiyohi County.

Marilyn J. Hagen, 82, of Belgrade, was southbound on Hwy. 71 at 10:18 a.m. Friday when she crossed the centerline at County Road 34, colliding with a northbound truck driven by Bruce F. Bruns of Pittsburgh, the Minnesota State Patrol said.

Bruns, 54, who was wearing a seat belt, suffered a noncritical injury and was taken to the Willmar Hospital. It was not known if Hagen was wearing a seat belt.

Alcohol was not involved in the crash, and roads were dry, the patrol said.
