Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, July 21, 2026 —
Hennepin County prosecutors have charged 34-year-old Jordan Thomas Land with criminal vehicular homicide in connection with a fatal collision that occurred on Interstate 94 on October 27, 2024.
The investigation into the crash, which took place in Hennepin County, suggests that Land was allegedly engaged with his mobile phone at the time of the incident. According to investigative findings, Land was using his phone for social media and internet browsing while operating his vehicle at high speeds. These actions reportedly continued before and during the collision.
The fatal crash involved another driver whose vehicle had stalled on I-94 after striking a deer. The collision resulted in the death of this other driver. The specific details regarding the stalled vehicle’s position on the highway and the precise sequence of events leading to the impact have not been fully elaborated in the initial reports.
No further information regarding the contractor’s name, permit status, inspection outcomes, code violations, or specific fine amounts was provided. The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office or the Minnesota State Patrol, who likely conducted the investigation, have not released additional details regarding the case beyond the initial charges filed against Land.
The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the legal process unfolds.
