Two Injured In Plymouth Four-Vehicle Crash Tuesday

Two people were extricated from their vehicles and sent to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries after a four-vehicle crash this morning in Plymouth.

One male and one female driver were injured and all four vehicles involved were heavily damaged and towed from the scene.

The accident happened at the South Shore Drive intersection of Highway 55. The call came into emergency responders at around 6:36 a.m.

Plymouth Police Officer Dave Groth described what happened. The accident started in the westbound lane and ended in the eastbound lane.

"One person hit a deer which caused the person behind them to rear end them in the westbound lane," Groth said. "The person who hit the deer and was rear-ended went into the eastbound lane and pushed into a car and one car rolled over."

Two vehicles were hit in the eastbound lane of Highway 55. One car's window had to be broken to get the driver out and another the door had to be removed to get them out.

The area is usually pretty busy at the time, Groth said. No elderly, young children or teens were involved in the accident.

Plymouth had several fire trucks on the scene and police officers who responded. There was also mutual aid from Golden Valley and the Minnesota State Patrol.

Groth did not have information on any identification of the people involved.

The road is now open and traffic has cleared since the accident.
