According to ISP, around 12:18, authorities were told of a pursuit involving the Norfolk Southern Railroad Police Department (NSPD) and those officers were pursuing a Dodge pickup on 1-94 heading southbound near 79th Street. The vehicle was reported in a previous incident by the NSPD.
A minivan became involved in the incident involving the pursuit with the NSPD and that vehicle crashed at a gas station on Sibley west of I-94.
