Tragedy struck on Interstate 94 in St. Michael on Saturday, October 21, 2023, as a collision resulted in the untimely deaths of two women and left three others injured, according to the Minnesota State Patrol (MSP). The incident, occurring near the intersection with Highway 241 on Interstate 94, unfolded before 5 o’clock in the afternoon when a semi-truck experienced two tire blowouts, one of which collided with a Nissan Rogue traveling in the opposite direction. Viengkhone Nguyen, 44, from Brooklyn Park, the driver of the Rogue, and Lea Khamphachanh, 43, a resident of St. Cloud and a passenger in the Rogue, succumbed to their injuries as a result of the collision.
Other passengers in the Rogue, including a 28-year-old woman from Rice, a 45-year-old woman from St. Cloud, and a 38-year-old woman from Sartell, were transported to the hospital with injuries, with expectations of recovery. The driver of the semi-truck emerged unscathed from the accident. MSP’s investigation indicated that alcohol did not contribute to the incident, and both the weather and road conditions were reported to be dry during the time of the collision.
This devastating accident follows another fatal incident on the same highway earlier on Monday night, September 4, 2023, when two individuals lost their lives in an accident on Interstate 94 in Oak Township, just east of Freeport. According to MSP officials, the collision involved a 36-year-old Said Mohamed of Pelican Rapids and a Chevy Silverado pickup truck driven by a 23-year-old male from Albany. Both Mohamed and his 69-year-old passenger, Abdalla Gudad of Grand Island, Nebraska, tragically perished in the collision, while another passenger, Adan Hosh, 48, of Pelican Rapids, sustained severe injuries and was treated at CentraCare – St. Cloud Hospital. Alcohol was not found to be a factor in this incident.
