A man was killed Tuesday morning in a crash involving a Mack truck and a minivan on a highway in Morrison County in central Minnesota.
The State Patrol identified the victim as Paul Yetzer, 83, of Hillman, Minn.
Yetzer was heading west on Hwy. 10 in a Chrysler Pacifica. Yetzer was approaching 180th Street in Pike Creek Township when he braked suddenly and made a sharp left turn toward a median crossover, the State Patrol said.
His minivan was struck in the driver's side door by a Mack truck that also was heading west on Hwy. 10, the patrol said.
Yetzer, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene, the patrol said.
The truck driver, a 62-year-old man from Fosston, Minn., was not seriously hurt, the patrol said.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash. Roads were dry at the time of the crash at about 10 a.m., the patrol said.
