1 Seriously Hurt In Head-On Crash In Rockford Township

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A driver was taken to the hospital with serious injuries following a head-on crash in Rockford Township Friday afternoon.

Investigators said the crash happened along Highway 25, near the intersection with 10th Street Southeast just after 3:15 p.m.

Road conditions were dry, and the initial investigation indicates that the driver who was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center -- a 52-year-old Hutchinson man -- appeared to have been under the influence of alcohol.

The driver of the other vehicle, a pickup truck, sustained only non-life threatening injuries. Both were wearing seat belts.
