Summary

A stolen vehicle collided with a semi-truck in Minneapolis near the University of Minnesota campus at approximately 4:12 a.m. on September 29, 2026. The stolen car, carrying seven occupants and traveling west on Southeast Fourth Street, struck the tractor-trailer as it was exiting southbound Interstate 35W. The car became lodged beneath the trailer. Three people died at the scene: two males in the front seats and one female in the rear seat. Four other passengers were transported to Hennepin Healthcare with potentially life-threatening injuries; reports identify them as two 18-year-old men and two 17-year-olds (one girl and one boy). The truck driver was uninjured. The crash remained under investigation, with area streets closed for several hours.
