MAHNOMEN COUNTY, Minn. – Six people were sent to the hospital following a head-on crash in Mahnomen County.
It happened around 7:00 Sunday night on U.S. Highway 59 in Popple Grove Township.
The Minnesota State Patrol says a pickup driven by a 30-year-old Waubun woman collided with a car driven by a 37-year-old Redby woman. The road was full of snow and ice.
