MINNETONKA, Minn. — Minnetonka Police confirmed Tuesday morning that one person died overnight after their vehicle was involved in a crash with a garbage truck.
Officers responded to the incident at Plymouth Road and Arthur Street, north of Interstate 394 just after 3 p.m. Monday.
Police said as a result of the crash, the garbage truck had rolled onto its side, but the truck driver suffered only minor injuries that didn't require him to go to the hospital.
The other driver, identified by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner as 78-year-old Colleen Lamberton, of Maple Grove, was taken to North Memorial Hospital "with serious injuries," where she later died.
Minnetonka PD said the state will likely help with reconstructing the accident.
