A car crashed into a Minneapolis bus shelter Sunday night, injuring two people who were waiting inside.

Both were taken to HCMC, with one in critical condition and the other with what were believed to be noncritical injuries, said Howie Padilla, Metro Transit spokesman.

The driver, who was arrested at the scene, was heading westbound on E. Lake Street around 8:30 p.m. when he struck the shelter, Padilla said.

A passenger in the vehicle was also hurt.

Officers are investigating what caused the crash, Padilla said.
