The 3 people in the Mini Cooper were taken to Regions Hospital where they were treated and released. The seatbelts and airbags protected the occupants from more serious injury.

The ladder truck was heading west on Randolph shortly after 5 a.m., responding to a call related to an electrical outage in the area. The traffic lights were not working and the fire truck hit the car in the intersection. At the time of the crash, both vehicles were going about 25 mph, according to Dave Galbraith, deputy chief of the St. Paul Fire Department.

The intersection was dark because of a downed wire at Cretin and St. Clair Avenues. 2,500 Xcel Energy customers were without power Friday morning, according to Mary Sandok, a spokesperson for Xcel Energy.

This type of accident can be pretty straight forward, but other times there may be extenuating circumstances. When an airbag explodes, it can cause an eye injury called anisocoria or it can damage the ears — hearing loss or tinnitus. Any of these conditions can be permanent, leading to long term medical expenses and possible loss of income.

In any motor vehicle accident, it is good to contact a reputable Minnesota Personal Injury Lawyer to determine your options and protect your family from financial loss. Call 612-362-0000 for assistance or submit our free consultation form.

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

NJvYpUzF5T-Lhyvc2t7DBQraN5Qo2-Pu Tour Bus Crash I-90 Near Austin, Minnesota, At Least 2 DeadA Strain Bus Lines Motorcoach crashed and rolled on Interstate 90 Wednesday afternoon. Initial reports are that at least 23 people were on the bus at the time of the crash and that at least 2 people died at the scene.

The crash happened at about 3:30 p.m. on eastbound I-90. The bus crossed over into the westbound lanes, crashed, and landed on its side in the ditch. The interstate was closed to enable medical crews to assist. Seven ambulances and six helicopters responded from the area including, Mayo Clinic, Mercy Hospital, Austin Medical Center, St. Mary’s Hospital (Rochester) and Naeve Hospital (Albert Lea).

According to Freeborn County Chief Deputy Gene Arnold the driver of the bus was critically injured and transported to St. Mary’s Hospital. Arnold also stated that there were not enough ambulances to transport all of the victims.

The bus was owned and operated by Strain Bus Lines Motorcoach Tours, Rochester. It was making its weekly Wednesday shuttle from Rochester, Byron, Kasson, and Blooming Prairie to Diamond Jo Casino in Northwood, Iowa and back. The passengers were mostly senior citizens.

As recently as August of 2008, the bus had some mechanical issues. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Strain Bus Line has not had a fatal crash for the past two years, but they have had a higher percentage of buses that have been taken out of service compared to other bus companies.

Bus Accident Liability

If you have been in a bus accident, you may be able to file a claim against the bus company or the owner of the bus to receive compensation for:

  • medical expenses
  • lost wages
  • loss of earning capacity
  • pain and suffering
  • disfigurement
  • disability

There are federal and state guidelines that regulate common carriers. As common carriers, bus lines are obligated to provide for the safety of their passengers by maintaining their vehicles, hiring qualified drivers, and providing additional training. If the accident is the result of non-compliance with any federal or state safety regulations, the common carrier may bear 100% of the liability for your personal injuries. Liability may involve any of the following issues:

  • poor maintenance
  • driver negligence
  • driver training
  • defective products
