Tragic Outcome When Pickup Driver Fails to Yield
A failure-to-yield auto accident resulted in a miscarriage for a 28-year-old Minnesota woman who was a passenger in a car broadsided by a pickup truck.
The State Patrolsaid the collision occurred shortly before noon on Saturday at State Highway 13 and 220th Street in Scott County. Citing the State Patrol, the newspaper said pickup truck driver Kevin Hafermann, 40 of Prior Lake, was westbound on 220th when he failed to yield to a southbound car driven by Nathan Messer, 32, of Victoria.
Hafermann, Messer and 28-year-old Katie Messer, also of Victoria, all suffered minor or non-life threatening injuries. But the newspaper said Ms. Messer, who was more than four months pregnant, experienced a miscarriage as a result of the crash.
