If Minnesota drivers hit something, they would be required to stop and investigate what they hit under a bill passed Tuesday by the House.

The measure, sent to Gov. Mark Dayton on a 124-3 vote, would make it clear that “not knowing what was struck” is no longer a legal defense for those accused of a hit-and-run collision, the bill’s sponsor, DFL Rep. Paul Rosenthal of Edina, said in a statement.

The vote came one week after Amy Senser, the wife of former Minnesota Viking Joe Senser, was released from prison to a work release program after serving part of her sentence for a fatal hit-and-run collision. Senser left the scene of the 2011 accident without stopping and testified at her trial that she didn’t know she had struck a person.

The Senate passed the bill the same week.
