St. Paul police are investigating a rollover crash that happened during the overnight hours on Thursday.
A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS photographer captured video of the crash scene just after 12:30 a.m. at Marshall Avenue near Prior Avenue North, where an SUV was on its side in the middle of the street.
According to St. Paul police, officers were called to the 1500 block of Marshall Avenue for a rollover crash, where they found the SUV on its side after it hit unoccupied parked vehicles.
Police add the two people inside the SUV – identified as a mother and son – were evaluated for injuries but appeared to be okay. Their ages weren’t immediately provided.
However, police say the woman admitted to being sleepy and likely fell asleep while driving. She was issued citations for no proof of insurance and also driving on a revoked license.
