Investigation into fatal plane crash near Minneapolis underway; community mourns pilot
Nonprofits and charities across the Twin Cities are remembering the pilot who died in a plane crash on Saturdayplane crash near Minneapolis on Saturday.
Investigators spent Monday removing pieces of the aircraft from what was a Brooklyn Park home. The plane parts will then get a closer look off-site.
What looks like the plane’s fuselage, along with the aircraft’s engine, were visible at the property.
A spokesperson for Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank said Sunday they are unable to confirm if Chief Administration Officer Terry Dolan was on board the plane, but “believe he was.”
Those who knew Dolan say they will remember him for his work beyond U.S. Bank. He served on the volunteer board of directors at Artspace for well over a decade.
The nonprofit’s president, Will Law, calls Dolan a kind, generous, brilliant person and says his loss is big.
“He’s kind of that quintessential Minnesotan. Humble, extremely generous and kind business leader,” said Law.
Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said Dolan played a big role in major renovations at U.S. Bancorp Center, and in getting employees back to working in the building — one of the most significant actions, he says, taken to help downtown Minneapolis rebound after COVID.
“Terry’s known as a really humble guy and a kind person who also had an outsized impact on the business community and just our civic world,” said Rybak.
The U.S. Bank website says Dolan also served on the boards for the Minnesota Opera, The Minneapolis Foundation and the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University over the years.
Officials say a preliminary report will be issued on the crash within the next two weeks.

Woman sentenced in fatal Minneapolis crash
Big picture view:
Prosecutors say Teniki Steward drove a Buick Enclave into a bus shelter and a Ford Explorer after speeding through a red light.
Both of the women in the Ford Explorer died in the crash. They were identified as 53-year-old Ester Jean Fulks and 57-year-old Rose Elaine Reece.
During the crash, the Ford Explorer went off the road, injuring a 17-year-old boy who was waiting for a school bus.
The passenger in Steward’s vehicle also suffered injuries.
Minneapolis police said that Steward was also injured in the crash.
Steward pleaded guilty to multiple murder charges.
What they’re saying:
During the sentencing, the daughter of one of the victims had a statement read on her behalf:
“There’s nothing that can truly prepare you for the moment your entire world is taken from you. Losing my mom has left a pain in my heart that words will never be able to explain.”
What’s next:
Minnesota law requires that Steward serves at least two-thirds of her sentence, a bit under eight-and-a-half years, in prison.
Fatal Emerson and 26th crash
The backstory:
According to the criminal complaint, through surveillance videos from the scene of the crash and witnesses, investigators learned that Steward, driving the Buick Enclave, had been driving at a high rate of speed northbound on Emerson Avenue North.
Before the fatal crash, Steward sped through the intersection of Emerson Avenue North and Broadway Avenue North, running a red light and nearly causing a crash, the charges said.
Steward then continued to speed northbound down Emerson Avenue North, and ran another red light at 26th Avenue North, hitting the Ford Explorer, which was traveling eastbound, according to the complaint.
The Ford Explorer had been at the intersection of Emerson and 26th on a green light.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty shared the following statement:
“This was an egregious act that took Rose and Esther’s lives and injured a child waiting to go to school at a bus stop. Ms. Steward was driving at extremely dangerous speeds on city streets and narrowly avoided multiple collisions before the incident occurred. Third-degree murder charges are appropriate to hold her accountable and protect our community.”
