Five people were in the Cherokee, and all were wearing seat belts, the patrol said.
One of the passengers, 49-year-old Brenda Magnuson of Minneapolis, died in the crash.
Another passenger, 15-year-old Samuel Jorgenson of Minneapolis, suffered life-threatening injuries. Emergency crews brought him to North Memorial Medical Center in the Twin Cities for treatment.
A 12-year-old girl in the Jeep was also hurt. She received care at an area hospital.
The Jeep's driver – 18-year-old Cole Magnuson of Minneapolis – was not hurt, neither was a 50-year-old passenger.
The driver of Explorer was unharmed.
Road conditions were dry at the time of the crash, the patrol said.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor.
