Two Illinois residents were injured Sunday in a three-vehicle crash in snowy and icy conditions on Interstate 35, 10 miles north of the Iowa border.

Timothy Lewis King, 22, and Bridget Ann Lantz, 19, both of Bloomington, Illinois, were taken to Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea with injuries deemed not life-threatening.

Steven Jon Miller, 50, of Kalona, Iowa, was driving a 2011 BMW X5; King was driving a 2002 Ford ZX2 Escort; and Jeffrey Alan Knudtson, 30, of Joice, Iowa, was driving a 2017 Chevy pickup south on I-35 when the Escort, the lead vehicle, lost control on the slushy road, spun sideways and was struck by the pickup at about 1:50 p.m., according to Minnesota State Patrol. The Ford reportedly spun again and was struck by the BMW.

The report states all were wearing their seat belts and alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
