St. Paul, MN : Two drivers injured on I-35 crash in St. Paul Saturday night, July 16, 2016
Two drivers were injured Saturday night on Interstate 35E in St. Paul when one rear-ended the other’s vehicle and struck a median wall before careening across all lanes, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
Alcohol was believed to be a factor in the crash, the State Patrol said.
The State Patrol described Hannah Breamer’s injuries as life-threatening. By Sunday morning the 25-year-old from Eagan was listed in good condition at Regions Hospital.
The 56-year-old woman driving the other vehicle, Bobbye Mcbain, was treated at Regions and released.
The crash happened Saturday at 8:36 p.m. as both drivers headed south on I-35E, south of Wheelock Parkway. Breamer was driving a Saturn Vue “above the posted speed limit” when she struck Mcbain’s Chrysler Town & Country, “forcing the Chrysler into the right ditch and causing it to roll,” the State Patrol said.
After the Saturn struck the median and went across the lanes, it wound up in the right ditch and hit the sound barrier, according to the State Patrol.
Breamer was not wearing a seat belt and alcohol was detected in her system, the patrol said. Mcbain, of North St. Paul, was belted in and no alcohol was detected, according to the agency.
Early Sunday, a crash in Minneapolis left a 24-year-old-driver critically injured, according to the State Patrol and Hennepin County Medical Center.
Zachary G. Adams, of Minneapolis, was westbound on Interstate 94 in the exit lane to Hennepin Avenue when he “crossed through the grass median to stay on 94 and rolled vehicle” at 1:44 a.m., according to the State Patrol. The State Patrol said alcohol was detected in Adams’ system and he was not wearing a seatbelt.
