Head-On Collision Fatally Injures Man from Chisholm, Minnesota

(Update to the post below: When this post was written, the name of the driver of the Plymouth Voyager was released as public information. The driver has since died, and the name is now listed as "Undisclosed." We have therefore edited this blog post to take out the name of the deceased. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.)

This morning at about 8 a.m. a head-on collision on Highway 169 near Chisholm, Minnesota, resulted in fatal injuries to a Chisholm man, who was airlifted to St. Mary’s Medical Center in Duluth. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, a Jeep driven by Susan Waller of Virginia, Minnesota, was heading westbound on Highway 169 when it ran off the left side of the road, went through the median and collided head-on with a Plymouth Voyager driven by the deceased.

Sadly, as the family is trying to cope with the physical and emotional difficulties of this situation, insurance companies are going to be contacting the family regarding the accident. As we state in our online Minnesota car accident FAQ:
Whether it's five minutes or five weeks after an accident, don't discuss it with the other person's insurance company representative. These people are called adjusters. They're not bad people, but their job is to get as much information about your accident or your injuries and then try to use it against you. You can talk about the accident with your insurance company. In fact, your policy says you must cooperate with your insurance company. But even so, your insurance company is going to look out for its own interests before it looks out for yours. That's why it's a good idea to talk to a lawyer before you talk to any insurance company.
