According to Blaine police, the accident happened just after 5 p.m. when a 2003 Hyundai Accent driven by a 43-year-old male from Ham Lake was crossing Highway 65 on eastbound on 133rd Lane NE and was struck by a northbound 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier.

The driver of the Cavalier was transported by ambulance to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

From Greg~~43 year old was in a silver escort, airlifted his 7 year old daughter to hcmc. News reported her with non-life threatening injuries. I was north bound on hwy 65 at 133 Ave, guess they shut 65 down for the helicopter to drop in,... was taken away in ambulance after calling 911. chest hurts, lost some more hair and my prescription sun glasses with airbag deployment. Don't think it knocked any sense into me, Scalp still burns where either my glasses or the steering wheel airbag cover abraised my head. Neck and head hurt but manageable with ibuprofen. Need to talk to Blaine police as I'm listed as an unknown driver in the report. Also need to contact insurance and find out where my car is. luckily it only hurts when I laugh or move. 9-15
