Minneapolis, MN (August 15, 2025) – A traffic collision with injuries occurred Thursday evening in the Central neighborhood of Minneapolis. The crash was reported around 6:16 p.m. on 35th St E, drawing a rapid response from Minneapolis police and emergency medical teams.
Paramedics and fire crews worked to assist individuals injured in the crash. At least one person sustained injuries and received treatment at the scene before being transported to a nearby medical facility for further care. Authorities have not yet released information about the number of people involved or the extent of injuries, though all patients were reportedly stable at the time of transport.
The collision took place in a residential section of 35th St E, where multiple driveways, intersections, and cross traffic can contribute to dangerous conditions — especially during the early evening hours when both commuter and local traffic increases. Officers temporarily blocked off a portion of the street to allow responders to work safely and to clear the involved vehicles.
The Minneapolis Police Department is actively investigating the circumstances of the crash. No official cause has been announced, and it remains unclear whether speed, distraction, or a failure to yield played a role.
Our thoughts are with those hurt in this crash, and we wish them a swift and full recovery.
Urban Accidents in Minnesota
Residential roadways in Minneapolis, like 35th St E, often present unique challenges for drivers. Unlike major arterials or highways, these streets may have inconsistent signage, frequent stops, and limited visibility around corners — especially when lined with parked cars. When combined with peak travel hours, these factors can increase the likelihood of injury crashes.
Thursday’s incident highlights the need for continued awareness even on familiar roads. In many urban neighborhoods across Minnesota, collisions frequently occur due to inattention, improper turning, and reduced reaction time at lower speeds. And while some of these crashes may appear minor, even low-speed impacts can result in injuries that require extensive medical care.
Data from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety shows that neighborhood traffic collisions represent a significant percentage of statewide crash-related injuries. These incidents often impact local residents, pedestrians, and cyclists — making community-focused prevention strategies essential.
As Minneapolis continues to implement traffic-calming measures and visibility improvements, it’s vital for drivers to stay alert, adhere to posted speed limits, and anticipate unexpected movements from other vehicles or pedestrians. When accidents do happen, timely care and accurate reporting are key to both recovery and accountability.
