ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA—A two-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon temporarily shut down a portion of County Road 42 in Rosemount. The collision left both drivers with minor injuries and caused traffic disruptions in the area.
The crash occurred shortly after 3 p.m. near the intersection of County Road 42 and Business Parkway.
