Patrol: Alcohol possibly behind fatal Minn. crash

CAMBRIDGE, Minn. — The State Patrol says alcohol may have been a factor in a car crash in east-central Minnesota that killed six people, including three teenagers.

Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske says there was a smell of alcohol from a car that collided with a sport utility vehicle early Sunday on Highway 95 west of Cambridge.

The patrol says the car was driven by a 16-year-old who got her license less than three weeks ago. She was hospitalized in serious condition.

Roeske says four people in the car were killed, along with the two people in the SUV.

Names of the victims have not been released.

The crash remains under investigation. Cambridge is about 40 miles north of Minneapolis.
