Minnesota Big Rig Truck Accident Fatal for Two

On Saturday evening, a tragic accident shut down a section of Interstate 94 near St. Michael, Minnesota. Around 4:49 p.m., a westbound Freightliner semi-truck lost two tires. One of the tires went flying across the highway and struck an eastbound Nissan Rogue SUV head-on, according to available information.

The SUV was carrying five people, including Viengkhone Nguyen, 44, of Brooklyn Park, and Lea Khamphachanh, 43, of St. Cloud. Nguyen and Khamphachanh were pronounced dead at the scene.
