ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA - At approximately 3:57 pm today, Tuesday, May 7, 2024, the Rosemount Police and Fire Departments responded to a two-vehicle collision on Hwy 3 (Robert Trail S) between 142nd St W and 143rd St W. Preliminary investigations suggest that a vehicle traveling northward veered across the centerline, resulting in a head-on collision with a southbound vehicle.
