MINNETONKA, Minn. — A 17-year-old is dead after a single-vehicle crash at the intersection of Highways 7 and 101 late Sunday.
The Minnesota State Patrol says the driver, a teen from Corcoran, was headed east on Highway 7 around 10:45 p.m. when the Cadillac Lyric he was driving left the road and hit a large light pole at the intersection with Highway 101.
Video from MnDOT traffic cams shows the electric SUV barely missing another vehicle before veering into the pole and immediately bursting into flames.
Temporary stop signs were set up to control traffic as the scene was reconstructed and cleaned up.
The identity of the victim should be released later Monday.
