MY LOCKER COMBINATION? ALL OF THAT. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, IAN. WELL, TONIGHT A MEMORIAL CONTINUES TO GROW AT PARK TAVERN, WHERE TWO PEOPLE TRAGICALLY LOST THEIR LIVES. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT IN SAINT LOUIS PARK WHEN A DRIVER WENT THROUGH THE CROWD THAT WAS GATHERED ON THE PATIO IN ADDITION TO THE TWO WHO WERE KILLED, METHODIST HOSPITAL SAYS FOUR OF ITS EMPLOYEES WERE INJURED. OUR BAB SANTOS IS THERE TONIGHT AT THAT GROWING MEMORIAL. JOINING US LIVE NOW. WE'VE LEARNED MORE ABOUT THESE VICTIMS. BABS AND HOW THEY'RE BEING REMEMBERED TONIGHT. YEAH, THERE'S ALREADY SO MUCH EVIDENCE HERE OUTSIDE OF THE PARK TAVERN TO SHOW HOW MUCH THIS COMMUNITY LOVES THESE VICTIMS. SO MANY FLOWERS, SHIRTS LEFT BEHIND AFTER THIS HORRIFYING CRASH YESTERDAY. AND ALSO TODAY, SEVERAL FUNDRAISERS HAVE STARTED ONLINE ALREADY, BRINGING IN TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I FEEL HELPLESS, I FEEL SO DEVASTATED TO WAKE UP TO THIS MANGLED FURNITURE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH DOZENS OF BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AND T-SHIRTS OUTSIDE OF PARK TAVERN. THE RESTAURANT CLOSED MONDAY, BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP HUNDREDS OF GRIEVING PEOPLE FROM STOPPING BY THROUGHOUT LABOR DAY TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS. AFTER TRAGEDY STRUCK SUNDAY NIGHT. A CRASH HERE KILLING TWO PEOPLE AND INJURING FOUR MORE. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY AND REHAB. THESE ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE. THE COLLEAGUES OF MINE, AND I JUST PRAY FOR THEIR WELL-BEING. AND, WISH THEM PEACE. PREVIOUSLY FEATURED ON FOX NINE, CHRISTINA FOLKARD FOLLOWED IN HER LATE MOTHER'S FOOTSTEPS, TAKING A JOB AS A PARK TAVERN SERVER. THIS PLACE IS SO SPECIAL. IS. I'M SORRY. THEY TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF HER. THE MOTHER OF THREE DID NOT SURVIVE SUNDAY'S CRASH. I JUST DON'T GET IT. I'M SORRY. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. AND FOR THREE LITTLE GIRLS RIGHT NOW, WHAT A MOM. OH, MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. A METHODIST HOSPITAL ICU WORKER ALSO DIED WHILE THE HOSPITAL SAYS FOUR MORE NURSES WERE INJURED. AS DOCTOR THOMAS STARK EXPLAINED THEIR GROUP WAS AT A GOING AWAY PARTY CELEBRATING NEW BEGINNINGS FOR A COWORKER AFTER HER FINAL DAY ON THE JOB. THAT WOMAN, NOW AMONG THE BADLY INJURED AFTER THE RESTAURANT'S OWNER SAYS A CAR CAME BARRELING INTO THEM. SOMEONE CAME IN AND STARTED ASKING EVERYONE IF THEY WERE A PARAMEDIC. MINNESOTA STATE PATROL ARE NOW INVESTIGATING. AUTHORITIES SAY THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO PARK HIS CAR BEFORE SLAMMING INTO THE CROWD. HE WAS ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF CRIMINAL VEHICULAR HOMICIDE. THERE IS ANY ANY MALFEASANCE. YOU JUST PRAY THAT JUSTICE IS SERVED. TONIGHT, IT REMAINS UNCLEAR EXACTLY HOW OR WHY THIS CRASH HAPPENED. THE MAN BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE CAR, A 56 YEAR OLD, DOES HAVE A HISTORY OF DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED. BUT AGAIN, IT'S UNCLEAR IF ALCOHOL WAS A FACTOR HERE LAST NIGHT. WE CAN SAY, THOUGH, THAT THAT MAN IS BEING HELD ON SUSPICION OF CRIMINAL VEHICULAR HOMICIDE, AND IF HE IS, OR WHEN HE IS FORMALLY CHARGED, WE WILL IDENTIFY HIM
