Police arrested a driver after they say he fatally struck a pedestrian in St. Paul on Tuesday night.
Officers responded to Front Avenue and Grotto Street in the Como neighborhood shortly before 6:30 p.m. and found a man lying in the street with severe head injuries, according to Nikki Muehlhausen, a St. Paul police spokesperson.
St. Paul Fire Department medics pronounced the man dead at the scene.
Preliminary information suggests the driver, after striking the pedestrian, did a U-turn and parked on the other side of the street, Muehlhausen said. Officers found the man there. He was taken into custody on suspicion of criminal vehicular homicide.
The police department’s Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Unit is leading the investigation.
