As previously reported, the crash happened on March 14 in Nessel Township, when Klapperick, whose 4- and 3-year-old children were also in the car, crossed over the center line and hit a Chrysler Pacifica head-on.
Later that month, the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office said that the 4-year-old died from his injuries. The 3-year-old was released from the hospital into protective care.
All four people in the Chrysler were brought to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities added.
Court documents show that law enforcement suspected Klapperick was impaired, and a tin found in her car contained a crystal-like substance that tested positive for meth. The Chisago County Sheriff’s Office said that formal toxicology results are pending.
