Man admits fault in Minneapolis crash that resulted in death of Federal Reserve worker
A man has pleaded guilty to causing a fatal crash near downtown Minneapolis that resulted in the death of a woman and injuries to others last autumn. Talon Walker admitted guilt to one count of criminal vehicular homicide and two counts of criminal vehicular operation on Friday, based on court documents. As part of the plea deal, several other charges were dismissed. Reports showed that at the time of the accident on October 23, 2024, Walker was driving at approximately 100 mph along the exit ramp from Interstate 94 east near Lyndale Avenue. The charges noted the presence of an open bottle of liquor on the driver's side floor of Walker's vehicle. This incident tragically ended the life of Natalie Gubbay, an employee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, who was operating one of the vehicles hit by Walker. At least two others suffered severe injuries. According to court records, Walker had a revoked license and past convictions for careless driving, driving with an open bottle, and driving under the influence of a controlled substance. Walker is expected to face a prison term of 90 to 120 months at his sentencing on October 2, as stipulated in the plea agreement.
