The Minnesota State Patrol is investigating the crash in Lake Elmo that caused the death of a 5-year-old St. Paul girl as a possible case of impaired driving, in accordance with a court document filed this week.

A search warrant, signed by a Ramsey County judge, gave a trooper permission to acquire a blood draw from a 47-year-old St. Paul man.

The person was driving a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder at “highway speeds” when he crashed right into a 2006 Ford Focus that had stalled within the left lane of eastbound 36 at Lake Elmo Avenue around 8:50 p.m. Saturday, in accordance with the State Patrol.

No arrests have been made and no charges have been issued within the crash that caused the death of Morgan Rae Petersen.

Morgan died Sunday at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Her father, Christopher Scott Petersen, 43, of St. Paul, and a 10-year-old passenger, Mason Scott Ries, also were taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul for treatment, but their injuries weren’t considered life-threatening, in accordance with the State Patrol.

Investigators determined that the 47-year-old was driving under the influence, in accordance with the search warrant written by Trooper Brian Schwartz, because: “(The motorist) crashed right into a vehicle stalled within the left lane with hazard lights flashing. I could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from (the motorist). He also admitted to drinking two beers earlier.”

The trooper noticed he wasn’t capable of perform field sobriety tests or a preliminary breath test on the person “because of the ambulance wanting to depart.”

Schwartz took two vials of blood from the person at Regions Hospital for testing.

When Christopher Petersen’s vehicle stalled, he tried to maneuver it, “knowing his kids were inside, but he couldn’t,” in accordance with a GoFundMe fundraiser organized for the Petersen family to assist cover funeral and medical expenses. It had raised greater than $25,000 of its $30,000 goal as of Thursday afternoon.
