Slick roads after Sunday afternoon’s snowfall potentially contributed to hundreds of crashes across Minnesota.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, there were 217 reported crashes between 1 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

Of those crashes, 35 caused injuries and 49 were spinouts, or vehicles that went off the road.

She died at the scene, according to state patrol.

The driver and two other passengers in the truck were not hurt.

Additionally, just before 6 p.m. Sunday, state patrol says the roads were dry when a pickup lost control and rolled on Interstate 90, south of Winona.
