(Undated) — Driving to cabins across Minnesota on Memorial Day weekend could be especially dangerous. A study by traffic analytics company INRIX found the risk of accidents has increased by about 70-percent for drivers heading from the Twin Cities to Ely. The higher risk was linked to heavier traffic, rural dirt roads, and long driving distances. Officials said holiday travel often brings speeding, drunk driving, and fatigue, which can all lead to serious accidents. Minnesotans are advised to slow down and remain alert while driving during one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
