In two separate motor vehicle intersection collisions, two Minnesotans were killed this past week. A 5-year-old girl died of multiple blunt force injuries sustained in the accident at the intersection of Johnson Memorial Parkway and W. 173rd Street in Scott County. A 79 year old driver was eastbound on County Road 15 and collided with another car at the intersection of County Road 6 in Hubbard County. Both cases are still under investigation.
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.
