FOREST LAKE, Minn. (KMSP) - Minnesota State Patrol is asking the public's help to find the driver of green Honda CRV believed to be involved in a crash in November on I-35 in Forest Lake.
Authorities say around 4:40 a.m. on November 18, a green 2002 - 2004 Honda CRV heading northbound on I-35 between Highway 97 and Broadway in Forest Lake hit a woman who was laying in the highway.
Police say 21-year-old Ena Bhatia of St. Paul had fallen off a motorcycle. The motorcycle driver drove off, but police later found him. Bhatia later died from her injuries.
Other drivers in the area at the time of the crash say they thought a deer, not a person, was in the road.
