How the I-35 Crash Near Lyndale Avenue Unfolded
The crash happened shortly after 11:50 p.m., about two miles north of the I-35 and Lyndale Avenue interchange. The State Patrol said a southbound Mini Cooper left the interstate and rolled. The State Patrol identified the driver as Tate Nathaniel Anderson, 27, of Kasson, and the passenger as Kevin Rafael Perez, 32, of Northfield. Both men had non-life-threatening injuries, the patrol said. Anderson went by ambulance to a Rochester hospital, St. Marys, while Perez was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.
What Comes Next After the State Patrol Report
The State Patrol's crash report said Anderson was suspected of having alcohol in his system. The report said Perez was not buckled up, and it is not known whether Anderson was wearing a seat belt. Deputies from Rice County, Faribault police officers and Faribault Ambulance crews also came to the scene. No charges have been announced.
Blood test results from a state lab can take weeks. That is why charges in these cases sometimes come well after the crash.
