MOORHEAD, Minn. – Extreme winds, snow and limited visibility create dangerous road conditions for people in Eastern North Dakota and Western Minnesota.
Minnesota State Patrol Sergeant Jesse Grabow says as of four o’clock troopers have responded to 251 crashes. 41 of them involved non life threatening injuries. Troopers also helped 129 vehicles that ran off the road and 19 jacknifed semis.
Grabow says most accidents tend to happen because people can only see about one hundred feet in front of them due to little visibility.
Sergeant Grabow says most of these cars are driving too fast for the conditions and they end up colliding a vehicle in front of them when they can’t see if it slowed down or stopped.
