ST. PAUL (LEARFIELD) — Investigators say there’s no indication it was intentional when a tanker-truck drove into a group of protesters on the I-35W bridge Sunday afternoon.
Authorities call it a miracle there are no reported injuries. Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington says the driver — a 35-year-old man from Otsego (ott-SEE-go) — was speeding, saw the crowd and panicked.
Harrington says he saw a young woman on a bike fall down in front of him and he slammed on the brakes, and he slid for a certain period of time until the vehicle stopped.
