MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – More details are emerging on the night Timothy Bakdash ran down four University of Minnesota students and killed one last April.
Bakdash was found guilty of second-degree murder and attempted murder on Tuesday, and on Friday 911 calls came out that shed new light on the crime.
In the calls, a friend of the student who was fatally injured described to dispatchers what happened when the car hit the students.
The caller said she saw the car go the wrong-way down Fifth Street Southeast, veer onto the sidewalk and hit the group.
One student injured her leg, another suffered a concussion, but Ben Van Handel suffered serious injuries. He rolled over the car’s hood, flew into the air, hit his head on a utility pole, and landed in the intersection.
Van Handel later died of his injuries.
