How the I-694 Crash in Oakdale Unfolded
The State Patrol said the crash happened shortly before 8 p.m. on southbound I-694, a little north of 15th Street. Troopers said the driver's Toyota Highlander went off the road and rolled. The SUV hit a sound barrier and finally stopped in the right-side ditch. Elliot was alone in the vehicle, and no other vehicles were involved. He died in the crash.
Where the State Patrol Review Stands
The State Patrol identified Elliot after first describing him only as a 19-year-old from Minneapolis. The agency has not announced any charges. It has not released a cause for the crash.
Investigators often ask nearby homes and businesses for camera video soon after a crash. Many systems record over old footage after a few days or weeks, so they move fast.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in Minnesota usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
