One person died and 10 others were injured in a multi-vehicle crash along Interstate 94 near downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday night. 

Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash.

The Minnesota State Patrol said a Chevrolet Avalanche pickup truck was exiting from eastbound I-94 to Lyndale Avenue at a high rate of speed just after 9:15 p.m. when it hit and caused severe damage to six other vehicles.

The patrol said a passenger in one of the vehicles that was hit — 26-year-old Natalie Gubbay of Minneapolis — died from her injuries.

The driver of the vehicle believed to have caused the crash — a 29-year-old St. Paul man — was among those hurt. A passenger in his vehicle suffered life-threatening injuries.
