A minivan driver was killed in a two-vehicle crash Monday in western Minnesota.

Jean Margaret Miller, 69, of Clarkfield, died in the crash, which happened at about 7:20 a.m. at the intersection of Hwy. 59 and 280th Avenue in Lisbon Township in Yellow Medicine County, the State Patrol said.

Miller was heading north on Hwy. 59 and a Pontiac was traveling east on 280th Avenue when the vehicles collided in the intersection and rolled into the ditch north of Clarkfield, the patrol said.

Miller was wearing a seat belt but died at the scene, the patrol said.

The driver of the Pontiac, a 36-year-old woman with critical injuries, was taken to North Memorial Health in Robbinsdale. A 6-year-old boy in the car, who had non-life-threatening injuries, was taken to a hospital in Granite Falls, Minn., the patrol said.
