The State Patrol has found the driver involved in a hit-and-run crash on a downtown St. Paul freeway Thursday night that left a pedestrian seriously injured.
Investigators on Friday recovered a black 2014 Honda Pilot believed to have struck Jeffrey Welage just before 11 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 94 near Jackson Street.
The suspected driver, a 48-year-old man from Red Wing, is cooperating with investigators. No arrests had been made as of Friday afternoon, said patrol spokesman Jesse Grabow.
Welage, 40, of Mounds View, was taken to St. Paul's Regions Hospitall where he was listed in critical condition Friday afternoon.
A crash reconstruction team called to the scene collected vehicle debris as evidence, the patrol said.
No other details about the crash were released.
