Sledding is a great pasttime this time of year. However, it is important to remember that safety is always an issue. Sledding accidents have recently been on the rise.

According to the CDC, sledding injuries generally account for about 11% of all emergency room visits due to outdoor recreation injury. Things like cuts, bruises and broken bones are injuries to be on the lookout for.

While sledding can be fun, it can also be dangerous. If you or someone you know has been injured, contact the Minneapolis personal injury lawyers of Terry & Slane at 612.333.5544.

A train crash occured last Wednesday morning on I-90 near the Mississippi River. The smaller train, comprised of 15 cars and 2 locomotives, broadsided the larger train, comprised of 93 cars and 3 locomotives.

13 cars from each train were derailed in the collision. One of the locomotives was thrown into the river, and two of the cars leaked a liquid nitrogen fertilizer mixture into the water. The locomotive also leaked diesel fuel into the water, but this can easily be collected and skimmed. Two engineers were hospitalized immediately.

Train crashes can be incredibly dangerous. Not only can people be hurt in the collision, but there can also be long term effects. If you or someone you know has been involved in a train crash, contact the Minneapolis personal injury lawyers of Terry & Slane, PLLC at 612.333.5544.

A tanker truck rolled over yesterday morning on I-494 near the airport. While the tanker truck was empty, it still leaked fuel onto the shoulder. A hazardous materials crew and State Patrol were on the scene to clean it up.

Luckily, no one was injured in the accident. This is fortunate because rollover accidents can become extremely dangerous. Had the State Patrol and hazardous materials crew not replied so quickly, the leaking fuel and rolled truck could have caused serious injury and death.

A Burnsville, Minnesota woman was in critical condition earlier this week after colliding with a snowplow on Interstate 94 Sunday morning.

Kimberley Ewers, 38, was one victim of what a Minnesota State Patrol spokesman called “an abundance of crashes” on Sunday, December 7. Ewers was driving in the left lane of Interstate 94 when she rear-ended a snowplow traveling in the same lane.

Kathryn Ewers, 17, the passenger in Kimberley Ewers’ car, suffered minor injuries in the crash. The snowplow driver was unhurt.

As the winter season approaches and road conditions become hazardous, Terry & Slane reminds drivers to exercise caution - especially when sharing the road with snowplows. For more information, contact a Minneapolis snowplow accident lawyer at 612-333-5544.
