The car's driver, Timothy J. Rubbelke, 43, of New Brighton, was flown to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbins- dale with serious injuries, State Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Tiffani Nielson said.
Three passengers — Angelica Fitch, 24; Destiny Pantlin, 7; and Molly Maloney, 5 — were taken to area hospitals by ambulance with what Nielson described as "non-life-threatening injuries."
The accident occurred along southbound I-35 near Wyoming just before 2 p.m., and limited travel in both directions until the interstate fully reopened about 6 p.m., Nielson said. She did not know the extent of the traffic backup, which occurred on the weekend of the state fishing opener.
