A baby born to a woman who was injured in a deadly crash amid a high-speed chase in St. Cloud died Monday, adding to the chain of sorrow triggered by Friday's chase.
Also Monday, a 22-year-old man was charged with trying to elude police in the chase, which killed another driver and seriously injured his pregnant passenger.
Timothy R. Gilles of Waite Park, Minn., is charged with fleeing police in a motor vehicle, resulting in death. Bail was set at $750,000, with conditions.
Timothy Casanova, 30, of Starbuck, Minn., died in the crash. Megan I. Thomsen, of Glenwood, Minn., who was eight months pregnant, gave birth by Caesarean section at St. Cloud Hospital, said Stearns County Attorney Janelle Kendall.
The baby, who had been named Timothy James Thomsen, died Monday, St. Cloud police said.
