The crash occurred at 5:01 p.m. when a 2004 Ford F150, driven by Joel Luther Robinson, 36, of Wells, was eastbound on I-90 near milepost 123 in Blue Earth Township and collided with an eastbound 1978 Chevrolet Nova, driven by Brooks. 

The Nova crossed the centerline and collided with a westbound 2016 Winnebago Motorhome driven by Chad Yarrington. 

Four other youth passengers in the motorhome were not injured. Robinson was also not injured.

The roadway was dry at the time of the crash, and alcohol was not a factor.
