We have fresh information again regarding the accident that occurred yesterday involving Montreal Canadiens forward Emil Heineman.

First, let’s recall that head coach Martin St-Louis has just commented on the incident.

Next, we have indeed just learned more about the individual who caused the accident involving Heineman.

New details about the accident involving Emil Heineman and the at-fault driver

See the relevant posts below.

More information on Heineman’s accident:

The driver crossed several lanes while turning right (instead of staying in the closest lane as they were supposed to) and hit Heineman.

The parties exchanged information and left it at that.

It was only later that the police report was filed.

The Utah Highway Patrol stated that they were handling the incident because the driver is a city employee.»

– Ryan Miller, Utah journalist

Reading this, it’s clear that it must have been a frightening scene for Heineman. (who will have to miss 3-4 weeks of activities due to the injuries sustained from this accident)

You read that right.

It’s a city employee over there who is at fault.

Sounds like a Salt Lake City municipal employee basically blindsided Emil Heineman while he was walking on the street and hit him with his car.

Hopefully there will be some legal repercussions for this idiot driver.

More details will follow, but still according to journalist Miller, this was not a high-speed collision.
