MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Minneapolis police are investigating a four-vehicle crash that left three people injured Monday evening after a driver allegedly ran a red light and fled the scene. According to the Minneapolis Police Department, officers responded shortly after 8:15 p.m. to the intersection of Lowry Avenue Northeast and University Avenue Northeast following reports of a crash involving multiple vehicles and injuries. Investigators say the incident began when a driver reportedly disregarded a red traffic signal and entered the intersection, colliding with two other vehicles. The force of the collision caused one of the vehicles that had been struck to crash into a fourth vehicle, resulting in a chain-reaction crash involving four vehicles. Emergency responders arrived at the scene and provided assistance to those involved. Three individuals were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Police confirmed that their injuries were considered non-life-threatening.

Police have not released the driver’s identity, a description of the suspect vehicle, or additional details about the circumstances surrounding the incident. It remains unclear whether investigators have identified the driver or whether criminal charges will be pursued. The Minneapolis Police Department continues to investigate the crash.
