A van reaching speeds of up to 100 miles per hour trying to elude Richfield police crashed Sunday morning, leaving one person dead, authorities said.
The crash occurred overnight on southbound Bloomington Avenue S. at 73rd Street, according to police scanner chatter.
A police sergeant told the Star Tribune that one person in the van was killed.
At one point before the crash, an officer told dispatch that he was ending his pursuit. The crash occurred a moment later.
There was no immediate word on why the van was being pursued.
