ANOKA COUNTY, Minn. — The Anoka County Sheriff's Office says an adult male, a toddler and an infant have died following a vehicle crash near the intersection of Bunker Lake Boulevard Northeast and Butternut Street Northwest in Ham Lake Sunday.
Law enforcement responded to the crash around 3:04 p.m. where the adult male and toddler were pronounced dead at the scene. They were riding with an adult female passenger, an infant, and a juvenile — all of whom were injured and taken to the hospital.
The sheriff's office says the infant was pronounced dead at the hospital, and the adult female and juvenile are in serious condition.
On Monday, the sheriff's office identified the victims as 28-year-old Lee Vang, 3-year-old Astrid Lee and 6-month-old Levi Lee.
The crash occurred after the SUV the five had been traveling headed west on Bunker Lake Boulevard when it crossed the median and crashed into a pickup truck traveling in the opposite direction, the sheriff's office says.
Both occupants of the pickup truck received minor injuries, and an investigation is underway.
A co-worker and friend at MHC Software Holdings has started a GoFundMe page to help Vang's widow Rhodia and her surviving daughter Kyrie with funeral and medical expenses as they begin the long process of recovery. If you'd like to help, click here.
