Tough break for the SamMan. Hopefully any injuries are minor and he's quickly on the mend, and that goes for the others involved, also. Those accident pix are terrifying.

Lt. Gordon Shank, public information officer with the state patrol, said the crash remains under investigation, including the exact cause of the injuries, and further details could not be provided Tuesday. Asked if anyone could be charged, he said that will be determined by the appropriate city or county attorney after the investigation is complete.

That is a confusing article, but it sounds like it was worse for the people who were stopped at the side of the road. Hopefully those people are able to recover and this doesn't affect Dylan's hockey training either. (also I hope it was a fluke accident and not negligence)

Hopefully everyone recovers

 

[Halberdier]

Those pictures looks scary.

Hope everyone's okay.

Must have bad streetlights out there for an accident like this to happen. Might need to improve the area.

It sounds like it was a rural highway 12 miles outside of Duluth so there probably aren’t any street lights. If the original vehicle was in an accident with a deer and people were hurt likely there were no hazard lights or accident flares marking the scene. A 2nd vehicle hitting the car would also strongly suggest it wasn’t easily visible. Like others hopefully everyone makes a full recovery.

4 people with life threatening injuries. Jesus...

we don't know.
could have been that.
could have been distracted driving.
could have been many things, but no need for us to jump to any conclusions, good or bad.

thoughts are with the 4 people injured.

not every city is lit up like Winnipeg is, Duluth is especially dark even in residential neighborhoods.

True, mostly I was going with my own experience. For the 1st part of my career I worked in a rural area and it was about this time of year that I came with in a foot or 2 from blowing into a car half on the highway after dark following an accident. I was totally sober and this was well before anything other than AM/FM radio distracting you.

One of my favorite underrated prospects.

hopefully nothing that hurts him getting ready for camp.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Sheesh. I really hope everyone is alright.

2020 is such a BS year

 

[ps241]

Sounds tough. My thoughts are with the 4 people that took the brunt of it. Really sad news.

 

[Guardian17]

 

[surixon]

I hope the 4 people are able to make full recoveries

 

[PhilJets]

Hopefully all are ok.

 

[Adam da bomb]

This is horrible. For the Jets this is ridiculous it was Sami Niku last year. We had a lot banking on him. Hope he’s okay.

 

[surixon]

I'm more worried about his psyche given what we have heard.

It sounds like the people in the car he hit aren't doing very well and that would really shake me up if It was me that hit them.

I hope all are able to pull through and make a full recovery.

 

[HannuJ]

i'm simply amazed at the posts that say "i hope he's ready for camp" and "i hope he's ok".
4 people are in critical condition. my god, give your heads a shake.

You're allowed to hope that things work out for everyone involved but this is a hockey site so I think it is alright to post a comment that you hope that our player is OK in a situation like this.

It all really goes without saying. You hope the 4 people in critical condition pull through. You hope Dylan is OK, physically and mentally so that his career isn't derailed before it even starts. You hope no drugs, alcohol or distracted driving were involved and this was just a really unfortunate accident.

You're able to want all those things simultaneously and I don't think you need to come in on your high horse to try disparage someone making a remark about our player and their hope that things work out for him.

We'll obviously agree to disagree on this, but I don't think the fact that there are others that were involved is lost on anyone.

 

[WhiskeyJack1983]

Hope all who were injured pull through.

To be honest I wonder if Samberg will be facing any legal liability here.

 

[DRW204]

damn, hope everyone pulls through.
