A driver was killed Sunday night in St. Paul when another driver sped through a red light and struck his vehicle, police said.
Preliminary information is that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, said St. Paul Police Sgt. Toy Vixayvong, a department spokesman.
Police responded shortly after 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Arlington Avenue and Dale Street. A man driving a sedan west on Arlington ran a red light light at Dale and hit a sport-utility vehicle that was heading south on Dale, Vixayvong said.
The SUV was pushed about 40 yards and St. Paul firefighters extricated the driver from the vehicle. Fire department medics transported the man to Regions Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The suspect was taken to Regions Hospital with apparent non-life threatening injuries. Information was not immediately available Monday morning about whether he’s in custody.
The investigation is ongoing.
