Head-on Semitrailer Collision Kills Minnesota Teen
A fatal car and semi truck accident killed an 18-year-old Minnesota man the morning of Thursday, July 28. “This accident involved a semi truck hauling grain,” said attorney Fred Pritzker. “This time of year there are more big rigs hauling farm commodities, and truck drivers need to use extra caution because other drivers are not used to the traffic.”
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, the accident occurred when the young man’s 2003 Ford Mustang crashed head-on with a grain-hauling semitrailer, which was a 2006 Kenworth. Just after 6:30 a.m., the accident was reported and Ringdahl Ambulance, the Pelican Rapids Fire Department and MnDOT responded to the crash site on Highway 108, four miles east of Pelican Rapids in Otter Tail County at Lake Lida.
The young man was trapped inside the vehicle and died at the scene. Our attorneys have a national reputation in the area of product liability and closely analyze crash wreckage to determine if a defective part caused the accident or contributed to the outcome of the accident.
