Accident On Hwy. 61

Just before 11:40 pm on Tuesday evening, a two vehicle crash at the intersection of Highway 10 and 61 in Denmark Township brought more than a dozen squads to render aid to persons in an SUV and a multi-passenger van. Officers from the Minnesota Highway Patrol joined Cottage Grove and Hastings emergency vehicles to block off all traffic for nearly an hour including Hastings Police squads who barricaded the northbound lane of Highway 61 at 3rd Street preventing access to the bridge. Northbound traffic over the bridge resumed at approximately 12:35. There was no confirmation from officials at the scene whether or not injuries occurred, but eyewitnesses at the scene noted full side curtain airbags did deploy in the van and passengers were gathered at the side of the highway until ambulances arrived.
