MSP: Bohdan Antoniuk dies after pickup travels wrong way on Hwy 212 MN

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN, (April 11, 2026) – Bohdan Antoniuk, 69, of Hopkins, was killed in a wrong-way traffic collision Saturday evening in Eden Prairie.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, the incident occurred at approximately 7:50 p.m. on Highway 212 near Valley View Road when a Chevrolet Colorado traveling eastbound in westbound lanes struck a Volkswagen Passat.

Antoniuk, the driver of the Passat, died as a result of the collision. Authorities suspect the driver of the pickup truck, a 50-year-old woman from Victoria, was under the influence at the time.

She was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The incident remains under investigation.

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Incidents like this highlight the importance of following traffic laws, though unfortunately, that was not the case here.

Wrong-way drivers pose a serious risk to everyone on the road, and such collisions may result from driver error, distraction, or roadway design issues.

According to NTSB data, nearly 75 percent of wrong-way incidents involve drivers impaired by alcohol.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all contributing factors that must be thoroughly examined,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“Accident reconstruction experts are often needed to determine exactly what occurred. These resources are essential in helping families pursue compensation for their losses,” added Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney.


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Bohdan Antoniuk may pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic incident.

“The grief and stress following such a loss can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand what families go through, and protecting their rights is critical. A wrongful death attorney will stay informed on the investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
