2 children among 4 injured in multiple-vehicle crash in Minneapolis
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.
Police state that he will be booked into Hennepin County Jail for criminal vehicular operation after he is discharged from the hospital.
The woman and two children in the second vehicle were also brought to HCMC, with the woman having non-life-threatening injuries and both children having serious but apparent non-life-threatening injuries.
The occupants of the third and fourth vehicles were uninjured, according to Minneapolis police.

Whitefish council creates proclamation in solidarity with city, citizens of Minneapolis
WHITEFISH, Mont. — The Whitefish City Council in February presented and signed a proclamation expressing solidarity with the city and citizens of Minneapolis.
The proclamation states that Whitefish mourns the loss of life that occurred in Minneapolis and stands in solidarity with its residents.
It reaffirms the city’s commitment to equal treatment under the law and emphasizes that peaceful protest is a fundamental American right.
The proclamation was supported by five of the six council members.
Mayor John Muhlfeld said the action was meant to reaffirm the city’s values.
“A mayoral proclamation that is supported by five of six City Council members supporting solidarity with the city and citizens of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and reaffirming our supportive, just, equal and welcoming community,” Muhlfeld said. “I think this is somewhat overdue. Our town’s been through a lot over the years, This is more importantly to reaffirm our values as a council with our community because we care deeply about you.”
Over the last year, Whitefish has faced criticism amid rising tensions surrounding the Department of Homeland Security.

A Minneapolis man who pleaded guilty to murdering a high school student in 2022 was sentenced to nearly 30 years in prison on Monday.
It was the second time Cody Fohrenkam was sentenced for fatally shooting 15-year-old Deshaun Hill. He was convicted and sentenced to more than 38 years in prison in February 2023, but the Minnesota Court of Appeals later reversed the conviction and granted him a retrial based on illegally obtained incriminating statements.
Fohrenkam, 33, agreed to a plea deal as his second trial was set to start, pleading guilty to one count of second-degree intentional murder in exchange for Monday’s 340-month sentence. The judge presiding over the hearing gave him credit for 1,476 days already served.
Fohrenkam shot and killed Hill while Hill was walking to a bus stop just blocks from Minneapolis North High School, where Hill was a star quarterback and honor roll student.
One of Hill’s aunts said in a statement shortly before the judge sentenced Fohrenkam that her nephew was “full of life.”
“When he spoke, you listened. He had a soft spirit and a good heart,” she said. “Deshaun was an artist who, as you all know, he took his education seriously. He had dreams and goals. He worked hard to make his family proud.”
