What we know about the victims of the Park Tavern crash

The victims of Sunday night’s Park Tavern crash were friends, parents and colleagues.

Two people were killed and nine more were injured, three seriously, when a vehicle rammed through the outdoor patio seating area of the St. Louis Park bar, several of them there to honor the final day of a Methodist Hospital nurse celebrating her final shift.

Police arrested Steven Frane Bailey, 56, of St. Louis Park and charged him with two counts of criminal vehicular homicide and nine counts of criminal vehicular operation in connection with the incident. According to charges filed in Hennepin County District Court, Bailey’s blood alcohol content measured at 0.325% after officers administered a preliminary breath test at HCMC.

Bailey was jailed on $1 million bail and made his first appearance in court Wednesday.

This is what we know about the victims of the crash:

Folkerts, 30, of St. Louis Park was a server at Park Tavern whose mother also worked at the neighborhood institution while pregnant with her. Folkerts had three daughters of her own. She was working in the outdoor seating area when police say Bailey drove into it shortly after 8 p.m. Folkerts died at the scene.

Harvey, 30, of Rosemount was a health unit coordinator at Methodist Hospital. He was also a nursing student who was on track to graduate in December. Harvey and his partner recently purchased a home together — friends described him as “kind, smart, hilarious and so incredibly positive” on a GoFundMe campaign set up for his memorial service. Harvey was at Park Tavern to celebrate a colleague’s departure from the hospital.

Knutsen, 37, of St. Louis Park was scheduled to begin her studies this week to become a certified registered nurse anesthetist at St. Mary’s University in Winona, Minn. Described as “brilliant and funny” by friends who set up a crowdfunding campaign for her, Knutsen was a nurse at Methodist Hospital for nine years, much of that time spent in the intensive care unit. She was celebrating her last day as a registered nurse at Methodist on Sunday evening. Knutsen was in serious condition at HCMC as of Wednesday afternoon.

D’Albani, 34, of Golden Valley suffered broken legs, pelvis, ribs and dislocated knees. She’s described as a “knowledgeable and thoughtful nurse” by friends and supporters. D’Albani, who has worked at the intensive care unit at Methodist for six years, has a young son. D’Albani remained in serious condition at HCMC as of Wednesday afternoon.

Larson, 33, of St. Paul works in the intensive care unit at Methodist and did so while he navigated nursing school. Friends describe him as “smart, analytical and witty.” Larson was recently married — he and his wife had planned a honeymoon in New Zealand. He was admitted to North Memorial Health Hospital with multiple skull, facial and orbital fractures. According to the criminal complaint, Larson has also suffered “complete memory loss.” He was in fair condition Wednesday afternoon at North Memorial Health Hospital.
