4 Dead After 3-Vehicle Crash Near Princeton
Authorities said an 80-year-old driver crossed the center line, triggering a three-vehicle collision that killed four people and left one seriously injured.
On Monday, a three-vehicle crash in Princeton Township killed four people after a Honda SUV crossed the center line on Highway 95 near 7702, the Minnesota State Patrol reported.
Marilyn Diane Marshall, 80, was driving the Honda SUV that struck an eastbound Volkswagen Jetta carrying four Princeton residents, including two teenagers.
A tire from the vehicles struck a Nissan Altima driven by Nadean Marie Gross, 60, who was uninjured; WCCO found five fatal crashes on this stretch of Highway 95 in the past 12 months.
Pastor Corey Kalinowski said three of the crash victims were congregants deeply invested in the church's youth program. New Life Church in Princeton held a prayer vigil Tuesday to honor them.
Manager Jenna Benson told WCCO drivers frequently speed and pass despite lacking a shoulder on Highway 95. "You are constantly checking in the rear view mirror, anytime you turn off Highway 95," Benson said.
