Westbound Interstate 694 at Snelling Avenue, ARDEN HILLS, Ramsey County
 
A green Chevrolet Equinox was traveling westbound on Interstate 694 in the right lane approaching Snelling Avenue. The Chevrolet Equinox swerves from the right lane to the left shoulder, over-corrects itself causing it to spin out. The white Chevrolet Malibu was entering westbound Interstate 694 from northbound Snelling Avenue. The Equinox crossed through the ditch on the right, striking the Malibu forcing it sideways into the left lane of 694. At this time the Freightliner Cascadia traveling westbound 694 approaching Snelling Avenue made broadside contact with the driver side door of the Malibu.
