Lake Street crash killing 5 Somali women

Minneapolis Police at Lake Street Crash Site

Minneapolis police say they’re investigating a car crash that left 5 dead. They say a speeding driver exited 35W where it went through a red light hitting another vehicle. A traffic camera shows the vehicle and what appears to be a State Trooper exiting at a high rate of speed.

Minneapolis police have said they are not calling it a pursuit because there were no lights or sirens activated. Initial dispatch audio: “State Patrol had a vehicle flee and crash. Northbound 35W and Lake Street and they’re now in a foot pursuit of 1 in the alley”
