All of the injuries sustained were not life-threatening.
As the box truck crashes into concrete, its hood is torn off and the truck bursts into flames. The truck stops at the ramp, blocking it with thick black smoke rising from the air and a flame underneath. Amazingly, as the flames grow and thicken, the truck stops blocking the entrance ramp. The doors then open and the passengers are free. Firefighters extinguished the fire within 15 minutes of the initial arrivals of first responders. The fire destroyed the box truck, leaving only the unidentified passenger compartment. The situation could have been worse if passengers had not managed to escape. The fire quickly reduced the cab’s size to nothing.
According to Fox 9 KMSP, police reported that all the victims survived, but they sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Although the investigation into the accident remains open, the station reports that the driver of the passenger car is being investigated for impaired driving. The report states that the driver displayed signs of impairment. High speeds mean that there is little time for reaction, and things can quickly go wrong on the highway. Although the crash between the truck and passenger car had every chance to be worse, everyone was able walk away with minor injuries.
