Brooklyn Park police on Monday identified a driver they suspect of being impaired by drugs or alcohol when he crashed his vehicle Saturday evening and killed a passenger.

The wreck occurred about 7:20 p.m. in the 7000 block of 68th Avenue N. The driver left the road and hit a tree, police said.

The driver, Lamoind P. Cunningham, 44, of Minneapolis, remained hospitalized Monday and was under arrest on suspicion of criminal vehicular homicide. Officials have yet to disclose his condition.

His passenger, Lamont C. Cunningham, 50, of Minneapolis, died soon after being taken to North Memorial Health Hospital, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office. Officials have not disclosed how the men are related to each other.

"During the investigation the officers discovered evidence indicating that the driver was impaired," a police statement read.

Officers collected a sample of Lamoind Cunningham's blood, which is being analyzed by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Those test results are pending.
