Nowhere Is Completely Safe

On March 10, 2025, a woman from Ham Lake was driving her car on North St. in Anoka where the speed limit is 30 mph. A drunk driver coming in the opposite direction crashed into her vehicle killing her at the scene. The drunk had a blood alcohol concentration of about 3 times the legal limit, along with some open wine bottles in the vehicle.

What is the lesson to be learned from this tragedy? Nowhere is completely safe. Even if you are just running a short errand or going to a friend's house, be sure to wear your seatbelt and as best you can, drive defensively. Don't assume that others are going to follow the law. Every one of my clients was following the law when they were injured.
