WALKER, MN — Two people were killed in a head-on collision that happened in Walker, Minnesota on Friday, May 16th, 2014, according to CBS Minnesota.
Investigators have said that they have reason to believe that both Lisa and Tim Collins was killed when the vehicle they were in was struck by a wrong way driver.
Scene of the Accident
Both Lisa and Tim Collins were killed in the collision. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Michael Stangel, who currently faces drunk driving related charges in connection with the crash.
The investigation is currently ongoing.
Commentary:
If the driver of this vehicle came from a bar, the bar could be open for punishment. It all depends on how the accident happened, but if the driver was intoxicated at a bar, and was served alcohol despite their condition, the bar has failed to serve in a responsible fashion. Additionally, if the driver walked into the bar sober, and left drunk, there is a good chance they were over-served. Only when bars see drunk drivers as a liability will they be held liable for drunk driving accidents.
