A Twin Cities man died in a two-vehicle crash in west-central Minnesota, authorities said.

The collision occurred about 3:50 p.m. Thursday in Green Lake Township, roughly 8 miles northeast of Willmar, according to the Kandiyohi County Sheriff's Office.

Joshua A. Torgeson, 42, of Shakopee, died at the scene at the intersection of County Roads 9 and 127, the Sheriff's Office said.

The other driver, Traci Jo Jacobs, 40, of nearby New London, was hospitalized and was expected to survive her injuries.

Torgeson was driving a utility truck east on County Road 127 when it collided with a northbound SUV driven by Jacobs on County Road 9, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Torgeson was driving for Torke Family Coffee Roasters, which is based in Sheboygan, Wis., and has a distribution center in Minneapolis.
