MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The driver accused of hitting and killing two people when he drove the wrong way on Interstate 94 in Minneapolis will be in court Friday.

Prosecutors are charging 26-year-old Quoc Thanh Tran with two counts of criminal vehicular homicide.

Martinez had just started classes at the University of Minnesota.
