Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – The Minnesota State Patrol says three people are injured in a Highway 29 crash on Tuesday evening in Douglas County. 

On Oct. 31 at 5:14 p.m., a 2010 Chevy Silverado, driven by 21-year-old Preston Alexander Johnsonbyker of Alexandria, was northbound on Highway 29 near mile marker 89 in Carlos Township when it collided with a southbound 2006 Chevy Impala, driven by 26-year-old Nicole Rose Eastmead of Alexandria. 

A preliminary crash report indicates that one vehicle swerved over the center line resulting in a head on crash.

Airbags deployed in both vehicles.
