The Minnesota State Patrol is investigating a fatal head on crash that left a man dead and a woman injured.


It happened Saturday night near the intersection of Highway 212 and Valley View Road.

Authorities say that a pickup truck was being driven the wrong way on Highway 212, heading east in the westbound lanes. The truck's driver then crashed the truck head-on into a car at Valley View Road.

The driver of that car, 69-year-old Bohdan Antoniuk of Hopkins, died from his injuries.

The driver of the pickup truck, a 50-year-old woman from Victoria, was injured but is expected to survive after being taken to the hospital.

The state patrol reports that alcohol is a suspected factor in her involvement in the crash.
