A fatal crash on a Minnesota highway claimed the life of a Winnipeg woman.

Erin Bateman, 38, died in a four-vehicle crash Saturday afternoon.

It happened on the I-94 in Albertville, Minnesota -- about 650 kilometres southeast of Winnipeg.

Bateman's mother was driving the car at the time.

A 10-year-old girl, also in the vehicle, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

An accident report from the state patrol says all four vehicles were travelling east when a rear end collision occurred.

Eight people were involved in the crash - most of whom sustained minor injuries.
