CROOKSTON, Minn. (WCCO) -- Investigators believe alcohol may have been a factor in a fatal head-on crash that happened in Polk County early Friday morning.

According to the State Patrol, a Ford truck being driven by 21-year-old Daniel Johnson stopped in the wrong lane along Highway 2 west of Fisher, Minn.

The State Patrol reported foggy conditions on the highway, with very limited visibility.
