Authorities say a woman is dead and three children under the age of five have injuries considered to be non-life-threatening following a crash early Monday afternoon in Redwood County.

A report from the Minnesota State Patrol said an International tractor truck was traveling eastbound on Highway 68 at 12:35 p.m. when it collided with a Ford F-150 crossing the highway at Redwood County Road 6, just west of Wabasso.

The agency says a 25-year-old woman and three young girls between 1 and 4 years old were inside the Ford, while a 65-year-old man was driving the truck.

On Tuesday, authorities identified the F-150’s driver as Morgan Grunewald of Wheaton. The three girls were taken to Redwood Falls Hospital for their injuries.

The tractor truck’s driver, identified as a 63-year-old Redwood Falls man, was also hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries.

Everyone involved was wearing a seatbelt, according to the incident report. Road conditions were listed as being dry at the time of the crash.
