    EP man’s death ruled accidental drowning after collision

    EPLN Staff ReportsBy EPLN Staff ReportsApril 27, 20231 Min Read

    An Eden Prairie man’s death has been ruled an accidental freshwater drowning with complicating multiple blunt force injuries due to a motor vehicle collision, according to a Thursday press release from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office.

    On Monday, April 24, at about 11:20 a.m., Kenneth John Blumberg, 71, was driving his 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan on Highway 212 and Great Plains Boulevard in Chanhassen when he ran a red light and collided with a 2019 Honda CR-V driven by a 52-year-old Norwood Young America woman traveling north on County Road 101.

    The impact caused Blumberg’s vehicle to veer off the road and into a holding pond, where it was submerged in the water.

    Emergency responders transported Blumberg to the University of Minnesota Fairview East Bank Hospital in Minneapolis, where he died at 11:30 p.m. on April 24.
