Two men were killed in a car crash on Payne Avenue in St. Paul on November 7, according to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.
The Early Morning Crash Near Payne Avenue
The sheriff's office said a deputy attempted a stop of an Acura RDX shortly after midnight, at the corner of Rose Avenue East and Burr Street North. The office said the driver drove off, and a pursuit followed that lasted about 50 seconds. According to the sheriff's office, the deputy trailed by three blocks when the SUV struck a tree near Payne and Nebraska.
Authorities said the Acura had "catastrophic" damage and both men inside were ejected. Authorities said one of the men died at the scene, while the other died later at a hospital. Authorities said the driver was believed to be 27 years old and the passenger was 29.
What the Sheriff's Office Has Yet to Release
The sheriff's office said it will name the two men once the medical examiner confirms who they are and their families have been told. No further details about the crash have been announced.
A full investigation into a serious crash often takes weeks, and sometimes months. Investigators usually wait for vehicle data and lab results before they finish their report.
