A fatal crash involving two young drivers on a rural intersection near Borup, in Northwestern Minnesota, killed a 16 year-old driver. This tragic car accident will probably result in a wrongful death case and auto insurance claim. The personal injury attorneys at Stowman Law Firm in Detroit Lakes, MN, help surviving family members pick up the pieces after an accident, like this, causes a wrongful death.
WHO CAUSED THIS WRONGFUL DEATH ACCIDENT?
Our wrongful death lawyers noticed a dramatic change in the reported cause of this fatal accident. Initially, the Minnesota State Patrol reported that the car with the teenaged driver behind the wheel was westbound on a County Road, and crossed in front of a pickup truck northbound on a State Highway.
The truck was driven by a 20 year-old from Enderlin, North Dakota.
The Patrol now says that the teenager was actually going north on the State Highway. The pickup truck was going east on the county road, and hit the teenager’s car on the driver’s side.
This is a dramatic change. A quick search on google maps shows that the pickup truck eastbound on the County Road had a stop sign. The northbound teen driver had no stop sign. According to the revised Minnesota State Patrol report, the conclusion is that the pickup truck failed to yield to the teen driver, and caused this crash.
If the revised Patrol report is accurate, the auto insurance company for the pickup truck should pay for damages caused by the pickup truck driver, including the wrongful death of the teen driver.
