The Explorer kept going, then left the roadway and rolled. The driver left the scene before the patrol arrived, the agency said, and no witnesses could offer a description.

Shortly after the crash, medics found a 30-year-old man walking on a nearby ramp. He said he was a passenger in the Explorer, according to the patrol, and was arrested on a warrant out of Hennepin County.

The infant was in the backseat of the Edge. A 27-year-old man was driving the vehicle, and there was another passenger as well.
