A driver who crossed the centerline and collided with a semitrailer truck died Monday night, the State Patrol said.

Jack Dahl, 42, of Roseau, Minn., was driving east on Hwy. 11 when his Dodge Caravan veered into the westbound lane at 8:48 p.m. and struck a westbound semi near County Road 123 in Jadis Township, the patrol said.
