DAYTON, Minn. — A woman who stopped her vehicle on a busy interstate after hitting a deer Sunday was killed when another motorist allegedly struck her in the roadway.
The Minnesota State Patrol website says the crash happened on I-94 near Brockton Lane in Dayton just before 6 a.m. Sunday. Troopers said 60-year-old Julie Kay Terwey of South Haven struck a deer with her Ford Escape and then stopped in the middle lane.
The crash report said it was at that point, that a Mazda CX-5 driven by a 32-year-old man from Becker rear-ended the Ford, killing Terwey. The driver of the Mazda was taken to North Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators say both motorists were wearing seat belts, and airbags deployed on both vehicles. The patrol says neither was under the influence of alcohol.
