Officials on Tuesday released the identity of the driver who was hit from behind in a chain-reaction wreck in Plymouth over the weekend.

Cristina Maria Restrepo, 40, of Plymouth, suffered multiple injuries in the crash shortly before 5:15 p.m. Sunday on Hwy. 169 just north of Hwy. 55, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said. Restrepo died about two hours later at North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale.

According to the patrol:

Suffering minor injuries were: Utility vehicle driver Pheng Yang, 40, of Brooklyn Park; SUV driver Robert L. Maul, 41, of Minneapolis; and SUV passenger Landon J. Maul, 13, of Minneapolis.
