In the early hours of a fateful Saturday, a heart-wrenching two-car accident unfolded at the intersection of 50th Street and Lyndale Avenue S. in south Minneapolis, resulting in the death of a 42-year-old man. The collision involved a Ford F-150 truck and a Mazda CX-30 subcompact SUV, leaving a community in mourning and a family devastated by the loss.
According to the Minneapolis police, Julio Armando Alvarado, a 24-year-old man, was suspected of driving under the influence at the time of the accident. He was behind the wheel of the F-150 during the collision and was subsequently arrested by the authorities.
Concerned about his condition, Alvarado was taken to a hospital for medical evaluation before being incarcerated on probable cause of criminal vehicular homicide.
