Christmas Eve Black and Blues

Two cars wreck on Christmas Eve in 2006 on U.S. highway 2-75. After one of the cars went over a snowbank it swerved and hit a van. No one was seriously injured. Both families refused to call an ambulance. The Lorenz family, who were in the van, stated they were on their way to pick up a family member to go to church. The car was going over the speed limit and couldn’t see the snow bank and hit it going over it and into the lane the Lorenz’s were in. Before the Lorenz’s could hit the brakes the car slammed into the left side of van. Mary Ann Lorenz,  Age 50, said “I didn’t see the car coming when saw it swerve and hit us. I turned to protect my children in the back.”
