A Two Harbors man admitted he was under the influence of alcohol when he caused a hit-and-run crash that injured five people in Midway Township this summer.
Rodney Drake Scandin Jr., 36, pleaded guilty Friday in State District Court in Duluth to five felony charges of criminal vehicular operation in the June 27 incident at Midway and Stark roads.
Authorities said a Subaru car occupied by four family members was stopped and waiting to turn onto Stark Road when it was rear-ended by Scandin's Ford F-150 pickup truck. The Subaru was thrown sideways into the southbound lane of Midway Road, where it was T-boned by an oncoming Chevrolet pickup truck with an attached trailer.
