Moreover, Laura Nielsen of Albertville, Minnesota, said,

Donate to help this boy cover medical costs from the accident that happened right up the street from our house yesterday. Our girls were witness to the immediate aftermath and it was terrifying. He’s a wonderful kid, by all accounts and it would be a relief to his family. Pray for him and the other young man involved who was also hurt badly.
