A 22-year-old man was killed Saturday afternoon when a driver ran a red light and crashed into the vehicle he was a passenger in, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
Authorities say an Eagan woman was driving a 2011 Lincoln MKX eastbound on Minnesota 55 when she ran a red light and struck the passenger side of a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta that was westbound and turning south onto Lexington Avenue.
The driver of the Jetta fled the accident scene on foot.
The investigation is ongoing and the name of the passenger who was killed was not immediately released, state patrol officials said.
