Sometimes it truly is better to be lucky than good, last night was a shining example of this old saying. Police, Fire and EMS responded to a two car crash with reports that there were several people trapped. While there were two people pinned by the wreckage that was their vehicle, injuries were minor. As you can see from the photos below, the damage to the vehicles was extensive and the 4 people involved were lucky not to have sustained more serious injuries. The cause of the crash appeared to be alcohol related, not uncommon in late evening and early morning crashes.
Minnesota’s Department of Public Safety Director, Michael Campion, points out that while traffic deaths were down last year from previous years, the causes are still the same. Speed, impairment or both lead to the vast majority of injuries and deaths. Additionally young drivers are the most at risk.
