Minneapolis, MN : 5 dead after crash in Minneapolis, suspect in custody on Friday, 16th June 2023

Four women and a girl are dead after a vehicle fleeing from the Minnesota State Patrol crashed into their car, officials say.

A trooper on Interstate-35 northbound by 46th Street in Minneapolis saw a car speeding around 10 p.m. on Friday. A spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety said the driver was driving over 90 mph.

Minneapolis police say that before the trooper could initiate a traffic stop, the car “immediately” exited the highway and ran a red light at the intersection of Lake Street and 2nd Avenue, where it hit the car carrying the five victims.

A man then ran from the vehicle but was later taken into custody by the Minneapolis Police Department, according to authorities.
