Driving southbound on I-29 Saturday morning in the fog, a girl from Dell Rapids attempted to make a u-turn in the median while having no headlights on and without using blinkers. She was in the right lane and switched into the left lane without using blinkers and attempted to make her turn. Approaching at highway speed was Jennifer and Chris Plott along with their 2 dachshunds and volunteers with Dakota Dachshund Rescue who were on their way to GermanFest to help raise money for the Rescue and race their dogs. The driver of the Chrysler Sebring Convertible had no way to stop but tried to avoid hitting the first car. They hit the Dodge Stratus while traveling around 60mph and airbags deployed in the Plotts car.
The driver of the Sebring had some injuries but her passenger and the other driver seemed ok. The dogs were scared but doing good. A good samaratain from Aberdeen stopped to see if anyone was hurt and held onto the dogs for the Plotts. After all this, the dogs went onto Germanfest and the one that raced still won 2nd place after all she went through.
