An unlicensed minivan driver sped through a red light in West Fargo, N.D., crashed into a compact car and killed a Minnesota woman driving the other vehicle, officials said Thursday.
The collision occurred about 9:20 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of 19th Avenue and E. 9th Street, the North Dakota Highway Patrol said.
The motorist who died at the scene was a 28-year-old woman from Bemidji, the patrol said. Her identity has yet to be released.
The minivan driver, 30-year-old Sabastijan Tahirovic of Fargo, was taken by emergency responders to Sanford Medical Center and survived his injuries, the patrol said.
Tahirovic is expected to be charged with one or more crimes, the patrol added. Patrol Sgt. Nathaniel King said Tahirovic was driving without a valid license.
According to the patrol:
Tahirovic was speeding west on 19th, ran the red light and hit the Bemidji woman's car on the driver's side as she drove south on 9th.
The woman's car hit a parked pickup truck nearby and ended up in the parking lot of the Blarney Stone Pub.
