St. Paul boy, 3, dies in U.S. 52 collision in southern Dakota County
A 3-year-old St. Paul boy was killed and a 28-year-old woman was seriously injured Monday in a head-on collision on U.S. 52 in southern Dakota County, the State Patrol said.
Maria De Lose Garcia Galindo, of St. Paul, and the child, Sebastian Chavez Garcia, were traveling north on the highway in a Toyota Camry when Galindo crossed the centerline and collided head on with a flatbed semitrailer truck near 250th Street just after 10:30 a.m., the State Patrol said.
Galindo and Garcia were taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul with life-threatening injuries. Garcia was pronounced dead at Regions.
The truck driver, who is from St. Augustine, Fla., suffered minor injuries.
That crash happened on a stretch of U.S. 52 in Hampton that has been reduced from four lanes to two — one in each direction — for road reconstruction.
