0:40Now PlayingFive people died and nine were hurt in a head-on crash Friday in Cottonwood County.
The Minnesota State Patrol says the crash happened just before 5 p.m. Friday on Highway 71 in Germantown Township.
An SUV traveling north and a transit van heading south collided head-on near 240th Street. The driver of the SUV, 67-year-old Martin Hanson of Springfield, did not have a driver’s license, according to the State Patrol.
Four passengers in the van died: 73-year-old Kathleen Johnson, 73-year-old Richard Johnson, and 49-year-old Kelly Hargus, all from Jackson, and 47-year-old Lindsey Rossow of Lakefield. Authorities say there were no seatbelts installed in the van at the time of the crash. The van was being used as a party bus, and most, if not all, of the people inside were related and had gathered to celebrate a family member’s birthday.
Multiple fundraisers have been set up to support the extended family affected by the crash. There has been an outpouring of support as the community rallies around those experiencing this loss.
