Kristina Pinna, 20, died this morning after a car hauler rear-ended the car she was riding in with her mother and pushed it in to oncoming traffic, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
Pinna's mother, Debra Hildebrand, is in good condition after the accident, which took place around 6:22 a.m. in a construction zone on Interstate 35E at County Road 14 in Lino Lakes.
The mother and daughter, both of North Branch, were braking for traffic in the southbound lane on I-35E when the vehicle hit them, sending them in to the car in front of them and then spinning them around in to the northbound lane, where it was broadsided by a semi, said Lt. Eric Roeske, spokesperson for the department of public safety.
Pinna died at the scene. Hildebrand, 46, was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul where she remained as of this afternoon.
The women's family could not be reached for comment.
Neither the driver of the car hauler, 35-year-old Matthew Hauer of Red Wing, nor the driver of the semi, 62-year-old Richard Kawalek of Mora, was injured. The driver of the car rear-ended by Hildebrand was also not injured.
