Car Crash Driving Too Fast On Icy Road – MN Lawyer


MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENTS THIS WEEK FROM ICY ROAD – DRIVING TOO FAST

The Pioneer Press reported three people died in unrelated car crashes on slippery roads this week in Minnesota. Two of these tragic crashes because of Monday’s snow.

A St. Paul man died Monday when he lost control of his 1999 Toyota Camry on Minnesota 55 in Eagan. The police said he was driving too fast for the snowy conditions when he began to slide. He then crossed over the median and was struck broadside by a semi-truck.The 2015 Freightliner truck was traveling west near Lexington Avenue when the collision occurred. The truck driver was not injured.

In another accident, a 51 year old woman from Solway was killed Monday in a single-car crash. She was traveling east on snowy U.S. 2 near Third Street outside Bemidji. According to Minnesota State Patrol records, she lost control of her vehicle on a slippery road. She then entered the south ditch and rolled.

The third accident involved an 89-year-old man, from Warroad MN. He was driving his 2004 Dodge Dakota on Minnesota 11 about halfway between Warroad and Roseau. He attempted to pass another car and his pickup truck slipped off the icy road. Again, the car rolled over into the ditch. He died at the scene. He was not wearing a seat belt. His passenger was taken to the hospital with critical injuries.
