Four People Just Died In 5-Car Pileup In Minnesota 

Minnesota Accident Occurred Friday, August 16th, 2024 

A 5-vehicle pileup on August 16th in Minnesota has killed four people. Reports say the crash occurred when four vehicles were stopped at a construction zone and a semi, "traveling at high speeds," hit them. 

The crash killed two children and two adults, say Minnesota authorities. Several other people were injured, the Minnesota State Patrol said. 

The incident parallels one in the Copper Valley near Simpson Hill in Tazlina on August 1st. 

Fortunately, nobody died in the Tazlina crash. 

The Alaska State Troopers maintain that nobody was hurt at Tazlina, but there are reports to the Journal – by members of the public – of several injuries.
