A 22-year-old motorist crashed and died west of the Twin Cities while driving with two children, who survived, officials said.
The single-vehicle wreck occurred about 5:40 p.m. Monday about 8 miles north of Dassel in Meeker County, the State Patrol said.
The driver was identified Tuesday afternoon as Dakota D. Flint, 22, of Monticello, Minn. The patrol said he was not wearing a seat belt.
According to the patrol:
The car went off the road in Kingston Township while heading south on Hwy. 15 near County Road 27 and then rolled over.
A 4-year-old boy in the car suffered minor injuries, and an infant boy was not hurt. The two were in the proper child safety restraints.
