Burnsville Woman Killed in Minnetonka Crash

A Burnsville woman died Tuesday morning in a broadside crash at Highway 7 and County Road 101, according to the State Patrol.

A 2000 Ford Super Duty driven by 49-year-old Darvin R. Basche, of Apple Valley, was stopped at a red light on northbound 101 at 7:42 a.m.  Elizabeth P. Ketcher, 58, was driving in the far right lane of westbound Highway 7 in a 2005 Toyota Corolla with a green light.

Basche’s vehicle went through the intersection and broadsided Ketcher’s vehicle. Her Corolla spun out and hit a 2011 Nissan Juke that was stopped at a red light on southbound 101. The Juke was then pushed into 2008 Toyota Highlander.

Ketcher was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and pronounced dead at 9:04 a.m.

No one else involved in the incident had any apparent injuries.
