FARIBAULT, Minn — Two people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash Friday on Interstate 35 near Faribault.
The crash, which included a semi, a pickup truck and a car, occurred just south of Faribault at around 1:30 p.m. Officials shut down the northbound lanes on I-35 between Faribault Road (south of Faribault) and West Central Avenue (just north of Owatonna) for about five hours while they investigated.
Minnesota State Troopers said two people in the car, a Toyota Camry, were killed. Officials identified them as 57-year-old Matthew Henry Hansen and Cimberly Ellen Hansen, 56, both from Urbandale, Iowa.
No other injuries were reported from the crash.
It's unclear what led up to the crash, but this has been a troublesome stretch as of late with several crashes occurring in the area over the past few weeks, including a multi-vehicle pileup earlier this week.
This is a developing story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
