Minneapolis police are searching for a suspect who was driving a vehicle involved in a deadly hit-and-run early Thursday morning.
Around 1:22 a.m., Minneapolis Police and Fire responded to a deadly crash on the 4600 block of Lyndale Avenue North, according to Minneapolis Police Department spokesperson John Elder. When they arrived, officers found a minivan had crashed head-on with a semi-truck.
Paramedics were called to the scene and located a man suffering from "obvious trauma," according to police. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. After police spoke to numerous people at the scene, they believe the driver of the minivan, which was stolen from Anoka County, had been driving erratically and speeding, swerved and struck the victim who was standing outside at the time of the incident.
