Two-Vehicle Crash in Apple Valley Ends with Rollover; No Injuries Reported
APPLE VALLEY, MINNESOTA—A two-vehicle crash at the intersection of County Road 42 and Foliage Avenue on Thursday evening resulted in a rollover, but no injuries were reported, according to Apple Valley Police.
The crash occurred at approximately 7:55 p.m. on May 1, 2025. According to law enforcement, a 71-year-old man driving a 2024 Subaru Forester was westbound on County Road 42 and attempted to turn left onto southbound Foliage Avenue. In doing so, he failed to yield to oncoming traffic and was struck on the passenger side by a 37-year-old man driving a 2013 Honda Odyssey heading eastbound on County Road 42.
The force of the collision caused the Subaru to roll onto its side. Both vehicles sustained major damage — the Forester to its side and passenger area, and the Odyssey to its front end. Both vehicles were towed from the scene by Dick’s Valley Service.
Fortunately, both drivers were wearing seat belts and reported no injuries. The roads were wet due to rain at the time of the crash, but the police report does not indicate that this factor contributed to the crash.
The Apple Valley Police Department cited the driver of the Subaru for failing to yield to oncoming traffic. Apple Valley Fire Department personnel also responded to the scene.
