UPDATE: Minnesota State Patrol has confirmed one person has died in this crash. Two others are injured.
A multiple-vehicle accident on westbound Interstate 94 near Rogers has commuter traffic snarled again Monday afternoon, just hours after a morning accident slowed down the drive in for workers to start the week.
A crash involving at least a half dozen vehicles, including a dump truck that started one fire and was engulfed in flames limited traffic to one lane on I-94 shortly after 3:15 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 22.
Vehicles and names have not been released.
