Minnesota officials urge drivers to slow down, move over near crash scenes

ST. PAUL — Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths and first responders used Crash Responder Safety Week, observed Nov. 2-6, to remind drivers to slow down and move over when it is safe to do so near traffic incidents. According to the Emergency Responder Safety Institute, 360 crash responders in the United States have been killed or injured since 2019 while assisting at incident scenes. They include law enforcement officers, emergency medical services and fire personnel, tow truck operators and highway workers. Gov. Tim Walz proclaimed the week, which marked its 11th anniversary. This year’s theme was “Slow Down, Move Over. Lives are on the Line!” Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths said drivers who reduce their speed when passing responders working roadside greatly reduce the risk of death in a secondary crash. Minnesota’s Move Over Law requires drivers approaching stopped emergency or maintenance vehicles to move over one lane when it is safe, or slow down when moving over is not safe. While all 50 states have move over laws, the program said one-third of the public is not aware of the law. Officials stress that an incident scene where first responders are working is a work zone. “When you see flashing responder

Minnesota sets early voting record amid concerns about federal election interference

By Friday morning, the quiet arithmetic of a Minnesota autumn had become a political fact. Nearly 729,000 people had already cast ballots, a figure that surpassed the state’s previous midterm mark and turned Minnesota early voting into the first story of this election rather than a footnote. County offices that once treated October as a warm up were instead managing a surge that looked, in raw volume, like the closing days of a presidential year. The record arrived with a second, less comfortable fact: state and local officials were also preparing for the possibility that federal authorities would challenge procedures, or voters, when Election Day finally arrives.

Deb Haaland and Peggy Flanagan Mark Their Historic Wins in Intentional Earrings

Last night, the 2026 midterm election results delivered plenty of historic firsts. It was a particularly powerful night for Native American representation: Democrat Deb Haaland became the first Native American woman to be elected as Governor of New Mexico, while Peggy Flanagan—the current lieutenant governor of Minnesota—became the first Native woman to win the U.S. Senate seat in her state. (And there could even be a third victory for the Indigenous community today: at the time of publishing this story, Alaska’s Mary Peltola is currently leading the race for a Senate seat, too.)
