Woman Critically Injured In Semi Crash On Highway 56 Dies

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A mother who was seriously injured in a crash on Highway 56 Monday morning has died.

Regions Hospital confirmed that 26-year-old Elizabeth Calderara is deceased. She was taken to the hospital Monday after she and her family were in a serious crash near Randolph, Minnesota.

State Patrol said 31-year-old Jason Calderara, Elizabeth's husband, was driving their vehicle and passed a vehicle before cutting back to the northbound lane.

A van traveling in the southbound lane slammed on its brakes, causing the semi truck behind it to also brake. The semi jackknifed and struck the Calderara's vehicle.

Jason Calderara and 1-year-old Melody Calderara were killed in the crash. Nine-year-old Nicholas Calderara was also seriously hurt in the crash.

Elizabeth Calderara was taken off of life support Wednesday.
