This past Wednesday and Thursday saw accidents in northern Minnesota that killed two. A pickup driver was killed when his truck hit a semi at a intersection off of Highway 32 in Polk County. A head-on collision between two pickups in Hubbard County caused the second death.
The death is early start of a sad new total for 2009. This followed 2008 which was projected to have 424 deaths a drop from 510 deaths in 2007.
As with any death in a Minnesota motor vehicle collision, there are a number of issues that will need to be reviewed. My partner, Joe Crumley, addressed this topic in a recent article for the Minnesota Lawyers Trial magazine. I was interviewed last year on the same topic. In this case, sorrow for the families of those involved goes out.
