Icy road conditions caused a number of car accidents in Southeastern Minnesota Monday morning.

One man was injured in a two-vehicle rollover on I-90 near mile marker 177 Monday morning. Dean Sunde, 78, of Buffalo Center, Iowa, sustained a cut to his head and had to be taken to Austin Medical Center by Gold Cross ambulance.

Sunde was the passenger in a 2005 Dodge Ram pickup that rolled over near another vehicle that had also rolled over. Police Chief Brian Krueger said the police report did not indicate the two vehicles collided.

Dangerous driving situations were likely to blame for a one-car crash near Albert Lea Monday morning that left a Stillwater man with serious injuries.

A rollover was reported on Interstate 35 northbound, south of the Glenville exit near mile marker three, just before 9 a.m. Monday.

According to a report by the Minnesota State Patrol, Alexander S. Joy, 18, of Stillwater, was driving a white 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser when he lost control of the vehicle. The Land Cruiser reportedly rolled and landed upright, throwing Joy from the vehicle.

By 9:30 a.m., the Glenville Fire Department had slowed traffic in the southbound lane as law enforcement officials from the Minnesota State Patrol and Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office gauged the scene.

Joy was transported to Albert Lea Medical Center by ambulance and listed in critical condition on Monday morning.

The road conditions were reported as icy and likely the causes of the accidents. Traffic was moving slower than usual in both, the northbound and southbound lanes, on I-35 Monday morning.

Slick roads plagued Freeborn County as the area was part of a hazardous weather outlook issued by the National Weather Service early Monday morning. Albert Lea received about an inch of new snow before the morning commute.

Albert Lea and Austin schools had two-hour delays due to slick roadways and drifting snow.

Patchy snow is in the forecast for Tuesday and Thursday, with another Arctic cold front moving through the area later this week, bringing with it dangerous wind chills.
