CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS INJURY

A burst of snow caused slippery driving conditions in parts of Minnesota Friday morning, including the Twin Cities. The MN State Patrol is reminding motorists to slow down to avoid crashes. Also, turn on headlights, buckle up and use extra caution. Slippery roads result in many accidents, most of which were preventable with appropriate driving.

State Patrol Sgt. Jesse Grabow tweeted a photo from a crash near Burnsville. In that case, a driver ran off the road and down a ditch. Meanwhile, a more severe injury crash in the northwest metro has shut down northbound Hwy. 169 at Hwy. 10 near Elk River.

Where temps are colder in northwest Minnesota and into North Dakota, icy roads have made driving conditions dangerous. Icy road conditions are being reported in southeast North Dakota mainly along the I-94 corridor between Valley City and Fargo. More difficult driving conditions can be anticipated in northern Minnesota this weekend as a storm system approaches. Snow is expected throughout the area.

“Snow will be melting as it falls, but should be heavy enough in most areas to see a few inches of accumulation. Also, some slushy roadways are not out of the question early Saturday morning,” the weather service in Grand Forks said. “Most locations that see accumulations will be in the 1- to 5-inch range. However, there is the potential for a few spots to get higher amounts. Snow will taper off Saturday afternoon, but strong northwesterly winds will make for a wintery October day.”
