Alvaro Z. Sanchez, 49, was transported to Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea with an injury deemed not life-threatening.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Sanchez was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Express van southbound on Interstate 35 when the vehicle blew a tire, lost control and rolled in the ditch shortly after 4:30 p.m., two miles south of the Hartland and Geneva exit.

Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, and Sanchez was wearing his seatbelt, the report stated.
