Late last week, a Crystal man was found guilty of fleeing police and causing the April 18 death of a woman after he sped through a red light at the top of an exit ramp off Interstate 35E and crashed into the car she was riding in with her husband. Hopefully, her family will find a little solace in the drivers going to prison. Sympathy goes out to all those that suffered from this loss.
Recent research indicates that deaths involving motor vehicles are down in Minnesota, but deaths linked to drinking and driving have also increased. The rules are simple and must always be followed:
- Don’t Drink and Drive
- Use designated drivers
- Always remember that the more you drink, the more your odds of making bad choices increase.
- As drivers on the road: It’s also worth keeping in mind, the deadliest roads in Stearns county to try to stay away from at night.
