Park Tavern employee Kristina Folkerts, 30, of St. Louis Park, and customer Gabriel Quinn Harvey, 30, of Rosemount, died in the crash. Harvey was a Methodist Hospital employee. Four of the people injured in the crash worked at Methodist as well.
“Our hearts broke with the losses of Gabe and Kristina and injuries to others, including our Methodist Hospital colleagues,” Myster said.
Bailey, who has been released on bail, is set to stand trial in Hennepin County District Court on May 15 for two counts of third-degree murder, two counts of criminal vehicular homicide and nine counts of criminal vehicular operation.
Kraft said the proposed reforms likely would have prevented the Park Tavern crash.
Bailey “would have been on interlock and not able to get behind the wheel of that vehicle.” Had he been required to seek alcohol counseling “maybe he would have gotten the help he needed to conquer the disease.”
