The driver told police he believes he lost consciousness as the northbound vehicle he was driving on West River Rd. Northwest traveled towards Elton Hills Dr.
The charge is the result of an operation conducted by Owatonna Police this past January to identify individuals possessing, publishing, distributing or producing child sexual abuse material on social media.
The crash investigation indicates the driver fell asleep behind the wheel, crashed into a tree then kept going before hitting a deck and a parked vehicle.
