The Minnesota State Patrol reports the single-vehicle crash happened on westbound Interstate 494 near the intersection of Pieper Road in the city of Sunfish Lake just after 10 a.m.
A 20-year-old man from Salem, Oregon, had been driving a Chevrolet Express Van on the interstate when the van left the roadway, rolling multiple times.
A 5-year-old girl, identified as Camila Flores, was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and suffered fatal injuries, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
A 13-year-old boy and a 35-year-old woman were also in the vehicle, but the extent of their injuries is unclear. The driver suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
The Minnesota State Patrol says alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the crash.
