(ABC 6 News) – Freeborn County first responders rushed to a crash at Highway 13 Freeborn County Road 46, Albert Lea around 2 p.m. Monday, Aug. 26.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol Crash Report, the crash occurred when a 2016 Honda Pilot carrying an 84-year-old man and 81-year-old woman from Albert Lea collided with a 1997 Peterbilt Semi in the intersection of Highway 13 and County Road 46.

MSP sergeant Troy Christianson confirmed there was at least one death in the crash.

The Semi was travelling southbound on Highway 13 while the Honda Pilot was traveling eastbound on West Main Street.

Some drivers said that intersection can pose a serious risk for drivers.

“I’ve seen a big mess, it’s not a pretty site to see,” DeWayne Carlsgaard said.

Carlsgaard spent 19 years as a truck driver and said this intersection could cause problems if you’re not paying attention.

“It is a very dangerous intersection for semis  when you’re coming into town, off of 13 or 69 when you’re doing 45 miles an hour, the light turns yellow and you’re trying to stop, you can’t stop, and you go through a stoplight and hit a car and something you don’t want to do.”

Others also watched from afar in the parking lot of Bombaars in shock of what they saw.

While most of them didn’t see the crash as it took place, many couldn’t help themselves to see the damage done.

“Since I go this way a lot I have seen people run this stoplight and they’re coming in from out of town, they’re going 55 miles an hour and they just zoom right through it,” Frank Andersen said.

This is an ongoing investigation with Minnesota State Patrol taking charge.

The names of those involved in the crash will be released tomorrow at noon.
