BENTON TOWNSHIP, MN : Elderly couple killed in Carver County crash on Friday, 11th October 2024

An elderly Forest Lake couple died in a crash with a dump truck late Friday morning southwest of the Twin Cities metro.

The Carver County Sheriff's Office responded to a crash at the intersection of County Road 53 and County Road 50 in Benton Township around 11:50 a.m.

Sheriff Jason Kamerud says a 2020 Toyota Corolla driven by 75-year-old Richard Hahn had been traveling westbound on County Road 50 when it stopped at a stop sign before continuing into the intersection of County Road 53. That's when a dump truck driving north on County Road 53 struck the sedan.

Authorities say Richard Hahn suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene of the crash. His wife, 75-year-old Jeanette Hahn, who had been a passenger in the car, was transported to the hospital where she later died. Both are said to have been wearing seatbelts during the incident.

The driver of the dump truck, a 32-year-old man from Arlington, Minnesota, did not suffer any injuries during the crash.
