Tragic Incident in St. Louis Park Leaves Two Dead and Three Injured
A tragic incident unfolded at the Park Tavern in St. Louis Park, MN, when a man drove his car into the restaurant's outdoor patio, killing two people and injuring three others.
The driver was arrested for criminal vehicular homicide, though authorities have yet to provide a motive.
Among the victims were staff from Methodist Hospital. The crash occurred during a group celebration at the restaurant. T
he Park Tavern has since closed, and the Minnesota State Patrol is conducting an accident reconstruction as the investigation continues.
