ST. PAUL,MN : Authorities charge driver who crashed into Metro Transit bus on July, Friday 21th 2017

Authorities filed felony charges Monday against a Minneapolis man whose car sliced through the midsection of a Metro Transit bus in St. Paul on Friday, killing a father of six adult children including a daughter he was supposed to walk down the aisle at her wedding this summer.

The Ramsey County attorney's office charged Tyler Randall Bjelland, 26, with criminal vehicular homicide in the death of Ken Foster, 48, of St. Paul, and with criminal vehicular operation for gravely injuring Anthony Dashawn Jackson, 19, of St. Paul, who remains hospitalized in critical condition with a brain injury.

Foster, who was originally from Chicago, was on his way home from a long day at work and was planning to take his children to dinner Saturday at a new outpost of the Windy City-based Portillo's restaurant chain, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.


He also had seven grandchildren "who he won't get to see grow up," said Marilyn Vargas, the mother of Foster's kids.

"He was the best dad you could ever ask for," Vargas told the newspaper. "It was all about his kids and grandkids. Any time you bring their dad's name up now, they're just crying and crying and crying."
