Minneapolis, MN : 2 children among 4 injured in multiple-vehicle crash in Minneapolis on Monday, 15th April 2024

Four people, including two children, were injured in a multiple-vehicle crash on Monday, according to Minneapolis police.

Preliminary information suggests that just before 6 p.m., the man driving the first vehicle was going west on Broadway Avenue Northeast and rear-ended a second vehicle, which was stopped at the University Avenue Northeast stoplight.

The second vehicle, with a woman and her 5- and 6-year-old children inside, was pushed into a third vehicle. Authorities say the third vehicle, occupied by a man and woman, was pushed into a fourth vehicle being driven by a man.

The Minneapolis Fire Department had to extricate the driver of the first vehicle, with officials suspecting impaired driving as a factor. The man was brought to Hennepin County Medical Central for non-life-threatening injuries and blood tests.
