Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 15, 2007 — RapidGlass, a Minneapolis auto glass repair company, today announced a donation to the Nationial Red Cross so they can assist victims of the recent Minneapolis bridge collapse. As a major automotive and home glass repair company in Minneapolis, RapidGlass and its employees hope to give back to the community they service. Furthermore, the affected bridge was used on a daily basis by RapidGlass’s fleet of repair vehicles.”One of our Auto Glass Salesmen was just minutes from crossing the bridge when traffic came to a standstill,” said Rick Rosar, President of RapidGlass. “Initially, he thought there must be an accident ahead, but later he became sick to his stomach when he turned on the radio and realized how close he had come to disaster. That would have been the fourth time he crossed that bridge for the day. ”

In an effort to assist the victims of the Minneapolis bridge collapse, Rapid Glass has made a much needed donation to the National Red Cross. Rapid Glass takes pride in the Quality Service that they provide the Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, suburbs, and just wanted give something back to these great communities, and the people that live there.

Rick Rosar, President of Rapid Glass in Minnesota, adds, “Besides the loss of life and physical injuries the people will have to endure, they will also have to deal with the damage to their vehicles. That means dealing with their insurance companies. Many insurance companies try to lowball or short pay their insured’s in a time of need.
