<p>I didn’t expect somebody to take issue at my comments about Minnesota’s roads. It was a sincere comment. I’m not the first to warn about southern Minnesota’s roads. Perhaps I need to clarify…</p>
<p>70% of fatalities happen on Minnesota’s rural roads.</p>

<p>The issue is you have icy conditions, heavy truck traffic, two lane roads, sudden curves in the road, hard to see intersections and no medians between lanes. While I don’t think there have been articles written Highway 3 where this crash occurred, 30 minutes south of Northfield numerous articles have been written about Highway 14 for the same reasons.</p>

<p>From my experience, I don’t think there is an exaggeration to give a warning on Southern Minnesota’s rural roads. They are worse than in cities and worse than other states. I hate to see something like this happen.</p>
