A fund has been set up for the Republican strategist and his wife who were seriously injured in a car accident earlier this month.
Jennifer Ann Soukup was driving north on Radisson Road in Blaine when her Pontiac G6 crossed the median and struck a southbound Honda Civic that was carrying Chris and Sara Tiedeman.
Soukup died from injuries.
The Tiedemans were taken to Hennepin County Medical Center were Sara Tiedeman remains in intensive care. Chris Tiedeman was recently released from the hospital and is undergoing physical therapy at a nearby rehabilitation facility, according to information on the couple's CaringBridge online journal.
Chris Tiedeman is a well-known strategist for the Republican Party of Minnesota.
Family members are collecting donations to help the Tiedemans pay for the accruing medical bills.
Donations can be made at www.TiedemanRecoveryFund.com.
A report issued after the accident indicated police believed Soukup, 38, might have been intoxicated at the time of the accident.
