Fatal crashes involving teen drivers in Minnesota have doubled this year

It's been a deadly year on Minnesota roads, especially for teenage drivers who have been involved in twice as many fatal crashes in the first part of 2021 compared to the same time period a year ago.

As of Tuesday, eight teenagers have died in crashes while behind the wheel, a worrisome number for the Department of Public Safety as school lets out and the busy summer driving season gets started.

"Obviously we are concerned," said Lt. Gordon Shank of the Minnesota State Patrol.
