A Maple Grove woman was killed in a fatal accident Sunday in Cedar Mills.

The three-vehicle accident occurred shortly before 3:50 p.m. Sunday when a 1989 Lincoln Town Car broad-sided a 1999 Dodge Caravan while crossing Minnesota Highway 7 at County State Aid Highway 26. The impact caused the van to spin into oncoming traffic and strike a 2006 Saturn Ion, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.

The 22-year-old woman, whose identity has not been released, was a passenger in the Saturn Ion.

The driver of the van - Anita Y. Vanderwege, 38, of Colorado Springs, Colo. - was taken to Hutchinson Area Hospital before being airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center where she is in critical condition.
