The Minnesota State Patrol is investigating a single vehicle rollover crash that took place around 2:30 a.m., five miles east of Alexandria on I-94.
The driver, David Hutchinson of Bloomington, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported by ambulance to Alomere Hospital. He was believed to have been wearing a seat belt.
Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the crash scene and suspected impairment.
A Minnesota State Trooper obtained a warrant and collected a (urine) sample from Hutchinson to determine impairment, which is standard procedure when impairment is suspected in a crash and a person is transported to the hospital.
Charges are pending based on the results of the sample and a review of the case by the Douglas County Attorney’s office.
Hutchinson was the only occupant of the vehicle which is owned by Hennepin County.
The Minnesota State Patrol is unable to comment further at this time due to the ongoing investigation.
