OAK GROVE, MN -- The 30-year-old Ham Lake man who died in a crash in the northern Twin Cities area has been identified.
Authorities say Jeffery J. Hettwer was one of four people in a car that crashed into a parked car early Saturday in Oak Grove.
The driver of the car ran away after the crash but was arrested two hours later. Authorities found the 25-year-old Minneapolis man walking in a nearby ditch. Anoka County authorities say prosecutors will examine the case for possible charges against the driver.
Authorities have said they think alcohol probably played a role in the crash.
Hettwer was an artist who painted abstract works at his studio in northeast Minneapolis.
The two other passengers in the car were injured.
