REAR ENDED BY TRUCK – MN CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER

The Minnesota State Patrol reported that a 28-year-old Bloomington man was killed when he was driving southbound on Highway 169 and was struck from behind by a truck. They were about half a mile south of Interstate 494. The State Patrol report says a Ford F-350 Superduty had been trailing the Camaro. It approached as the car decelerated in the right-hand shoulder. The truck hit the car and actually drove over it before overturning and coming to rest on its roof. Our lawyers handle many cases where a heavy truck rear-ends the car ahead of it. However, usually not to this extent.

The Camaro came to rest facing northbound in the ditch and the driver was killed. The driver of the Ford truck sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The report says it’s unknown whether the car driver had been wearing a seatbelt when he was hit by the truck. It was also unknown whether alcohol played a role in this rear end collision. However, there does not appear to be any excuse for the truck hitting the car.
