Minneapolis, MN : 8 injured in pursuit of stolen car that ended with crash into driver, pedestrian in Minneapolis on Monday, 5th June 2023

Six juveniles in a stolen car led officers on a chaotic chase that ended with a collision into another vehicle and a bus shelter Monday in Minneapolis.

Law enforcement officers from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and Minneapolis Police Department initiated the pursuit just before noon when they noticed a vehicle “driving erratically” that was believed to have been involved in a string of armed robberies earlier in the day, the sheriff’s office said. Officers tried to stop the car, but it sped away.

The chase ended when the suspect vehicle crashed into an innocent bystander’s vehicle near Penn Avenue and Olson Memorial Highway. The vehicle then hit a bus shelter and a man who was standing in the area.

According to the sheriff’s office, the woman driving the vehicle that was hit only suffered minor injuries. The man who was standing at the bus stop was taken to the hospital. His condition is unknown.
