Passenger who got out of vehicle struck, killed Posted: Updated: CAMBRIDGE, Minn. (AP) - A passenger who got out of a car on a highway north of the Twin Cities has been killed by a hit-and-run driver. The State Patrol says the woman who was killed, Patricia Wolter, was riding in a car driven by her son. The patrol says the 54-year-old victim got out of the car and was hit by a vehicle that kept going. The car was involved in a minor collision with a minivan on Highway 95 about 10:15 p.m. Wolter's son was treated for injuries at Cambridge Medical Center.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
