(KNSI) – A St. Cloud man was hurt in a fatal crash in Anoka earlier this week.
The Anoka County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release saying two people died after a driver fled from a traffic stop in Coon Rapids. They corrected that to say the driver was killed, but the passenger was not.
Police identified that passenger as 32-year-old Jermain Ramone Beasley.
The press release says the driver, 30-year-old Brian Edward Harper from St. Paul, did not stop for police in Coon Rapids and fled into neighboring Anoka. Coon Rapids police had “completely disengaged” from the chase when Harper kept driving, slamming into a pickup truck. Harper died, and it was earlier reported that the passenger also died, but “it has subsequently been learned that the passenger is not deceased, but is injured and in unknown condition at Mercy Hospital.”
The driver of the truck wasn’t seriously hurt.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
