At least two people died in a three-vehicle crash Thursday evening along Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis.
Police said one of the drivers may have suffered a medical emergency before the crash.
Officers were called to reports of a crash at about 5:45 p.m. at Hiawatha and 26th Street, according to a police news release. Initial reports were that a Mercedes traveling south on Hiawatha at a high rate of speed crossed the median and hit two other vehicles.
The driver and passenger in one of those vehicles were pronounced dead at a hospital. The drivers of the Mercedes and the other vehicle it hit were hospitalized with serious injuries.
