Wrong-way driver killed in fiery crash on Hwy. 169 in Scott County

A wrong-way driver on Highway 169 in southern Scott County died early Monday after crashing into a concrete median barrier, according to authorities. The Minnesota State Patrol said the driver of the Ford F150 was traveling the wrong direction in the southbound lanes of the highway before the crash just before 4:30 a.m. at Delaware Avenue in Saint Lawrence Township. The pickup truck became engulfed in flames after the collision, the patrol said.

According to Scott County's website, a Delaware Avenue closure just south of Highway 169 took effect May 1 and detours are in effect. However, authorities have not indicated that the construction was a factor in the crash. According to the Minnesota State Patrol Lt. Mike Lee, the agency is currently working with the medical examiner's office to confirm the driver's identity.
