Three other three children under the age of 10, and the driver, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to North Memorial Hospital. Just before 2:30 a.m., a Ford Explorer going north on the Dupont Avenue bridge hit a barrier and flipped over the fence, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. The Explorer fell down, landing on eastbound Interstate 94. Conditions were dry at the time of the crash, authorities said. The driver was booked at the Hennepin County Jail on criminal vehicular homicide just after 7 a.m. Sunday. He is being held on $1,000 bail.
