49-year-old Anthony John Cuchetti of Red Wing has been identified as the driver.
Cuchetti and his three passengers, identified as 39-year-old Lacy Kate Schumann, a 12-year-old boy and five-year-old boy also from Red Wing, were taken to a hospital for treatment of what are being described as non-life-threatening injuries.
All four of the SUV’s occupants were buckled up and alcohol was not involved in the crash, the report says.
