BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. – Police in Brooklyn Park say a woman died in a crash shortly after she stole a car from a nearby auto parts store.
Police responded to a single-vehicle rollover around 12:30 Sunday afternoon after 911 callers also reported a man running from the scene.
Officers found a vehicle upside down in the culvert. No one was found in the vehicle, but officers suspected there could have been people trapped underneath.
A tow truck responded and moved the vehicle enough for responders to gain access and officers found a woman who was dead.
Officers located the man seen running from the scene of the crash. They determined he was a passenger in the crashed vehicle and involved in the theft. He was treated for minor injuries. The car had been stolen in Minneapolis.
