2 killed in head-on crash in northeastern Minnesota
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Minn. — Two men are dead following a head-on crash involving two pickup trucks on Thursday morning in northeastern Minnesota.
The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office says it happened just before 9 a.m. on Biss Road, just east of Sand Lake in the town of Britt, located about 13 miles northwest of Virginia.
A 76-year-old man traveling eastbound on the road "appeared to have drifted off" onto the shoulder, then "overcorrected and continued across the centerline," striking a truck driven by a 69-year-old man.
The sheriff's office is still investigating and says the Minnesota State Patrol will reconstruct the crash scene.
The two men were identified as Frank Ratliff of Angora, and Steven Shoden of Virgina.
