Mora woman charged with criminal vehicular homicide in crash that killed 4-year-old son
A Mora woman suspected of driving while high on meth is now facing criminal vehicular homicide charges after her 4-year-old son died of injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash.
The Chisago County Attorney's Office recently announced elevated charges against 36-year Ashlee Rose Klapperick in connection with the March 14 crash.
Klapperick now faces one count of criminal vehicular homicide along with five other counts of criminal vehicular operation.
It followed a head-on crash involving Klapperick's Chevrolet Cruze and a Chrysler minivan at around 6:15 p.m. in Nessel Township.
Klapperick, identified as the driver of the Chevrolet Cruze, was in the car with her two children. Her 4-year-old son, Anthony Sobaski, was not breathing, but first responders were able to obtain a light pulse with chest compressions. He was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital with a "significant brain injury," and died on Thursday.
Klapperick's other child in the car, a 3-year-old, sustained a broken collarbone in the crash.
The driver of the minivan told police that the Chevy had crossed the centerline into the opposite lane, eventually leading to the crash.
The driver and three children traveling in the minivan were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.
At the scene, Klapperick showed signs of likely drug impairment, according to the criminal complaint. A substance found in a tin in her car also tested positive for methamphetamine.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — Two men and a woman from North Carolina have been charged for allegedly stealing six lawnmowers from a Dicky Bubb Farm and Home in Eureka, Missouri. According to court documents, Devon Reid, 27; Roberts Knotts, 36; and Angel Williams, 29, stole $34,244 worth of lawnmowers from Dicky Bubb, located at 100 Hilltop Village Center, on April 11.

The Eureka Police Department reports two credit cards were fraudulently used to purchase the items, totaling nearly $8,000. After the transaction, the three suspects were seen leaving the store in a Chevy Silverado pickup truck, which was the same vehicle used in the early hours of April 11 to steal the additional lawnmowers.

Man pleads no contest to manslaughter, DUI in Pioneer Dr fatal crash
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A man accused of driving drunk when his SUV collided with a car in east Bakersfield has pleaded no contest to a charge of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, according to court records. Gabriel Coronel, 33, also pleaded no contest to DUI causing injury in connection with the fatal crash that occurred last year on Pioneer Drive east of Denison Lane, records show. He faces seven years and eight months in prison, prosecutors said. A sentencing hearing is scheduled next month. Early on Feb. 17, 2024, Coronel's Chevy Traverse collided with a Honda Accord. The Honda had four occupants. Three were found unconscious by California Highway Patrol officers, according to court documents, including a woman in the front passenger seat who was later pronounced dead.

Breath tests revealed Coronel's blood-alcohol content at 0.12 and 0.13%, above the 0.08% legal limit, documents said. The driver of the Honda was also intoxicated, documents said, and was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI charges. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
