Twin Cities Man Dies After SUV Collides With Semi On Southern Minnesota Highway

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A 40-year-old Twin Cities man died Thursday morning after his SUV collided with a semi truck in southern Minnesota.

The Minnesota State Patrol says the crash happened around 9:45 a.m. on Highway 13 near Montgomery, which is roughly 55 miles south of Minneapolis. A Dodge Journey was going north on the highway when it collided head-on with a southbound semi.

The SUV's driver, Joshua Almendinger of Cottage Grove, was killed. The semi's driver, a woman from Green Bay, Wisconsin, was not harmed.

Investigators do not believe alcohol played a role in the crash. Almendinger was not wearing a seat belt.
