Steven Frane Bailey – Driver identified in deadly patio crash at Park Tavern restaurant in St. Louis Park

Steven Frane Bailey was taken into custody in relation to the deadly collision that occurred at Park Tavern in St. Louis Park on Sunday night, according to a law enforcement source on Monday.

Bailey, 56, was charged with probable cause criminal vehicular homicide and placed into the Hennepin County Jail. Charges have not yet been brought.

In the wake of the incident on their terrace that left two people dead and four injured, Park Tavern has announced that they will be closed until further notice.

After two fatalities and three injuries were reported by police on Sunday, Methodist Hospital issued a statement on Monday confirming that four of their nurses had also been hurt and that one of the deceased had been a “loved and respected colleague and friend to many here at Methodist Hospital and HealthPartners.”

The company said in a social media post that it decided to stay closed in order to “support and care for our staff and neighbors.” The proprietors are appreciating the guests’ patience and generosity since both customers and staff still find it hard to believe what happened on Sunday night.

Methodist Hospital’s Dr. Thomas Stark reports that several of his colleagues celebrated a coworker who was quitting her position as an ICU nurse after seven years in order to pursue CRNA school.

“Everyone was out celebrating, having a great time, and saying goodbye as she moved on to the next chapter of her life,” Stark remarked.
