The crash happened just after 5 p.m. at St. Anthony Avenue and Aldine Street. That’s just north of Interstate 94, and just west of Snelling Avenue.

It's a warm and windy Twin Cities Marathon this Sunday morning. 🌡️🍃
Temperatures at 7 a.m. will be in the low 70s. That's about 25 degrees warmer than the normal low of 46F!
But dew points will be in the 50s so at least it won't be super humid.
