MSP Sixth District says a witness described the vehicle going at a high speed. Officials say they found that the driver was not wearing a seatbelt, and that alcohol may have played a factor in the crash.
"As we approach the holiday season we want to remind drivers to avoid risky driving behaviors,” said D/Lt. Mike Shaw. “In this single crash we saw speed, failure to wear a seatbelt and impaired driving lead to a driver losing their life. There is never a reason to drive impaired. Ever. ”
MSP Sixth District says the crash investigation is ongoing.
