MARSHALL Blinding blizzard conditions on Wednesday sent vehicles into ditches and caused multiple rear-end collisions on southwest Minnesota roads and highways.
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Department reported on its Facebook page that one deputy suffered minor injuries when a vehicle rear-ended his squad car. The deputy was responding to vehicle in a ditch.
“Cars were getting rear-ended or going into the ditch because they (drivers) couldn’t see,” Lyon County Sheriff Eric Wallen told the Independent.
Messages from other area law enforcement agencies were similar.
“Please stay put. We have multiple vehicles stranded including sheriff’s office vehicles,” the Yellow Medicine County Sheriff’s Office posted on its Facebook page. “We are going to have difficulties getting to you if you choose to venture out. You may end up spending a long time in your vehicle waiting for help.”
