State Patrol Responds to Six Traffic Deaths in Four Days
Undated (KROC-AM News) - Minnesota roadways have been especially deadly in recent days. At least six people have died as a result of traffic incidents in the state since Saturday.
Two of the fatalities occurred Tuesday night. The State Patrol says a 16-year-old girl drove a car through a stop sign at a rural intersection in Meeker County and smashed into a minivan, killing the other driver, 75--year-old Florance Deheer of Watkins. The teenage driver and her 15-year-old passenger suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The other fatality occurred in a small town about 25 miles west of Bemidji. The State Patrol says 24-year-old Ada Hvezda of Shevlin was attempting to cross the main street in Shevlin when she was struck by a vehicle.
Two of the other six victims were the Minneapolis teenagers killed early Tuesday when their car collided with a vehicle headed in the wrong direction on I-94. Officials have said alcohol was a contributing factor in the deadly crash.
