Many Minnesotans drive every day, and the summer brings more and more people out onto the roads. With more people on the roads comes an increase in car accidents during the hot summer months. This blog article will walk through some of the most common car accidents and injuries drivers sustain during the summer months in Minnesota.
Driving Through Work Zones
Summer is also known as construction season in Minnesota. Many drivers find themselves navigating through work zones pretty frequently during the summer months. Construction work zones are dangerous for drivers and construction workers alike. In a work zone, the lanes are narrower than normal, and there are added obstacles – making crashes more likely.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Statistically, there are more DUI arrests in the summer in Minnesota. With more impaired drivers on the road, the greater the likelihood of getting into a DWI-related accident.
Boating Accidents
Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes, and Minnesotans love to hit the water when it’s nice out. The increase in boats on the lake raises the danger of a boating accident. Whether a boater has had too much to drink, or simply fails to see another boat, there are numerous accidents and injuries that can result.
