Four people died Saturday and two were critically injured when a minivan and pickup truck collided in Olmsted County.

The crash happened about 11:30 p.m. at Highway 63 and Highway 30. The State Patrol says alcohol was detected on the driver of the pickup truck - and he was not injured.

There was no alcohol detected on any of the victims in the minivan.

The victims were identified as Terry Milholland, 45, of Beecher; Hedi Newell, 19, of Rochester; Jarah Beers, 23, of Rochester; and Raymond Milholland, whose age and hometown were not immediately known.

Two others in the minivan were critically injured - including a 2-year-old boy.

Few details are available, but authorities say the crash was a "broadside."

At least six other people died in accidents around the state on Saturday and Sunday.
