INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, Minn. -- Crews Saturday evening closed part of Interstate 494 while they cleared a multi-vehicle crash near Inver Grove Heights.

Troopers say they responded to a five-vehicle crash just after 6:30 p.m. on eastbound I-494 near Highway 62. 

Four people were transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.

A viewer caught in the traffic told WCCO a very thin coating of snow made the roads very slick.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
