A Chevy Yukon SUV slammed into the side of a car at a major intersection northwest of Duluth, killing the car’s driver and a passenger in the car, according to the State Patrol.
The Minnesota fatal car accident occurred early Monday, just after midnight, the patrol said. One of the vehicles apparently went against a red light but the preliminary accident report does not say which vehicle had the right of way.
The two who died were car driver Timothy J. Schlies, 26, of Duluth, and a passenger in his car, Hans C. Warren, 27, also of Duluth, the Duluth News-Tribune newspaper reported.
According to the State Patrol, the men were westbound on Arrowhead Road northwest of Duluth in Hermantown. The Yukon was northbound on Highway 53 when the broadside collision occurred minutes after midnight.
The patrol identified the driver of the SUV as Daniel D. Dougherty, 50, of Hermantown. The report said he did not suffer any apparent injuries.
