Two motorist from Apple Valley were killed Saturday morning when a driver believed to be under the influence of alcohol struck their vehicle head-on.

Peter Foxvang Olson, 68, and Patricia Ann Olson, 49, both died at the scene of the 11 a.m. crash on Minnesota 56 just north of the Cannon River in Randolph in southern Dakota County, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.

A State Patrol report said a 28-year-old man from Kenyon was driving a 2016 Ram 1500 pickup truck northbound in the wrong lane of the two-lane highway when his vehicle struck the 2019 GMC Terrain compact SUV of Peter and Patricia Olson.

The Kenyon man was taken to St. Paul’s Regions Hospital with injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening. The State Patrol report said that alcohol played a part in his role in the collision, which remains under investigation.
