Fatal accident on I-35W snarls traffic in south Minneapolis

I got a late start this morning and traffic was terrible. I was wondering why, and now I know.

Three Timberwolves' seasons prior, my sister was dancing at half time with the rest of the University of St. Thomas dance team. Having worked until 7:30 AM and then gone to class until mid-afternoon, I overslept and left a little late. I was driving South on 35E having just passed Highway 96. If I'd have left another minute later I may not be alive today. Just a minute up the road infront of me, a driver (who I'd later read in the paper was a young woman) lost control of her car going Northbound, veered off into the ditch, flipped over, crossed over to the other side of the freeway and hit the car a mile up the road from me head on. Fortunately I was far enough back that I had time to stop. She died, though the folks in the car she hit lived. That freaked me out for a few days.

I've also driven past (three foot gap between us) an SUV going the wrong way on 35 outside of Kansas City. I called 911 and the operator asked for a description. I told her it was the only SUV with headlights on going the wrong way on northbound 35 around mile marker whateveritwas (I didn't see too much more).

 

Sorry, the LTE form is closed at this time.
