Officers found a Toyota Sienna minivan in the westbound lane facing east, with its driver, later identified as 37-year-old Zachary Scott Lee Wydella, regaining consciousness.

Anoka police, the Anoka-Champlin Fire Department and Allina EMS were dispatched just after 6:30 p.m. to the 1000 block of North Street after reports of a two-vehicle collision.

Officers were sent to Highway 47 near the Anoka County Fairgrounds in Anoka on reports of a minivan that had collided head-on with the motorcyclist. Several witnesses reported seeing the motorcyclist being thrown from the vehicle and flipping through the air before landing on the pavement.

Police have identified the man arrested in connection to the double stabbing and robbery at an antique business late Thursday morning. Authorities also said that the officer who was injured by a homemade pepper spray during the incident has since been released from the hospital.
