Slayton, MN (September 27, 2024) – A traffic accident occurred at the intersection of Highway 59 and Highway 30 West in Murray County, involving two vehicles. The incident took place when a 2017 Infinity QX50 was traveling southbound on Highway 59, while a 2023 Volvo VN semi was heading northbound. The semi was attempting to turn left when both vehicles collided at the intersection.
Emergency responders from the Murray County Sheriff’s Office and Murray County Fire/Ambulance were dispatched to the scene to assist those involved in the crash. The road conditions were dry at the time of the incident, which is believed to have contributed to the circumstances surrounding the collision.

His airbag deployed during the accident, and while it is unclear if he was wearing his seatbelt, there was no indication of alcohol involvement.
