We’ve obtained traffic camera video showing the moment a high-speed police pursuit ended in a multi-vehicle crash early Sunday morning in Mendota Heights.
The crash prompted a large emergency response and forced authorities to shut down the eastbound lanes of Highway 62 while crews responded and began their investigation. The original reason for the pursuit was for the suspect’s speed, according to initial radio dispatches.
As of publication, the extent of injuries to the suspect and uninvolved driver has not been released. Authorities have confirmed that the Trooper who was struck had non-life-threatening injury.
