One person died and three were injured Monday morning after a van and a semi collided on Interstate 35 north of Exit 11.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, a green Chrysler minivan and a white 2007 Freightliner semi were both northbound on I-35 when, from the right lane, the driver of the minivan attempted to make a U-turn at a crossover. It was then that the minivan was struck by the Freightliner.

According to the State Patrol, the roadway was dry at the time of the crash. The interstate highway was covered with dense fog Monday.
