Sheriff deputies, on Nov. 20, reported two traffic accidents that resulted in minor injuries. Both were single-vehicle accidents.
One accident took place at 6:32 a.m. near the intersection of Highways 34 and 35, north of Dent. The second accident with a minor injury took place at 7:46 a.m. near the intersection of Highways 75 and 10, east of Bluffton.
Slow down and live
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is continuing its communications effort dedicated to reducing and preventing speeding on the roadways. These efforts are strongly supported by county sheriff offices across Minnesota along with the State Highway Patrol.
“Everybody’s in a hurry, and I think it’s more so now than ever before,” said Sharon Gehrman-Driscoll who heads Minnesotans for Safe Driving and has been involved with the safe driving advocacy group for several years. “But why do some people want to travel with excess speed and take the chance of not only hurting themselves, but hurting someone else as well?”
