Two drivers were seriously injured in a head-on crash Friday morning along Interstate 94 just west of Albertville.

The crash closed the westbound lanes between Albertville and Monticello for several hours.

The State Patrol said it happened just after 8 a.m. when an eastbound SUV driven by a 20-year-old woman from Foley apparently crossed the median in a construction zone. It collided in the westbound lanes with a work van driven by a 39-year-old man from Blaine.

Both drivers suffered life-threatening injuries and were taken to a Minneapolis hospital; traffic cameras showed two medical helicopters at the scene just after 9 a.m.

No one else was injured.

The westbound lanes reopened around 11 a.m.
