A 3-year-old St. Paul boy was killed and a 28-year-old woman seriously injured in a head-on crash on U.S. 52 in Dakota County on Monday, the State Patrol said.

Maria De Lose Garcia Galindo, 28, of St. Paul, and the child were traveling north on the highway in a Toyota Camry when Galindo crossed the centerline and collided head on with a flatbed semi-trailer truck near 250th Street just after 10:30 a.m.

Galindo was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul with life-threatening injuries, the State Patrol said.

Additional information on the boy will be released later Tuesday.

The truck driver suffered minor injuries.

That crash happened on a stretch of U.S. 52 in Hampton that has been reduced from four lanes to two — one in each direction — for road reconstruction.
