It was reported that a minivan, traveling northbound on Hwy 7, had rear ended a flatbed truck which was part of a group of maintenance vehicles that were repainting roadway markings.
The minivan contained two adult female occupants. The driver of the minivan was transported to a Duluth area hospital by ambulance with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries. The passenger was airlifted to a Duluth area hospital with what are believed to be serious injuries.
