Driver killed in crash along I-35W after driving in the wrong direction

A driver was killed in Minneapolis Saturday morning after he was reportedly driving south in northbound traffic, colliding with another vehicle.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, a Chevy Malibu was going south in the left lane of northbound traffic on I-35W in Minneapolis at Johnson Street.

A Jeep Grand Cherokee was going north on I-35W and tried to move from the left lane to the center lane.

The Chevy also moved from the left lane to the center lane when both vehicles collided head-on, eventually coming to a stop in the right lane.

The driver of the Chevy, 21-year-old Aman Mukhtar Mohamed, died from his injuries. The State Patrol incident report indicates that alcohol was a factor in the crash.

Authorities say that the 25-year-old man from Lino Lakes driving the Jeep sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
