APPLE VALLEY, MINNESOTA - According to the Minnesota State Patrol, around 9 AM on the morning of Monday, November 13, 2023, a multi-vehicle wreck occurred on northbound Cedar Avenue (Hwy 77) at Palomino Drive in Apple Valley, Minnesota.
The Minnesota State Patrol stated the crash was a chain reaction crash that involved five vehicles when traffic slowed on northbound Cedar Avenue at Palomino Drive.

That person stated they saw a squad car parked on the side of the road, and traffic quickly became congested as people moved over for the squad. That was when they were hit from behind and the side.
