Bogdan Vechirko, the driver of the tanker, was booked into Hennepin County Jail Sunday but Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington said Monday that it doesn't appear Vechirko intentionally drove on the highway or tried to cause harm. Vechirko was released without charges Tuesday afternoon.
The video released Tuesday shows different camera views of Vechirko as he drove on the highway before getting near the crowd. You can watch the full video by clicking the video box above.
