A 23-year-old faces charges of criminal vehicular homicide after a woman was killed on Highway 252.
BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — A Brooklyn Park man has been charged with criminal vehicular homicide after a woman was killed along Highway 252.
The crash happened on Tuesday around 1:30 a.m. Authorities say the victim had been the passenger of a vehicle and had gotten out during a fight with the driver. The driver was trying to convince the victim to get back in the vehicle when she was hit by a southbound Rav4. Officials say the driver did not stop and continued to drive down Highway 252. The victim was declared deceased at the scene, court documents say.
Ryant Tarnue Freeman, 23, was charged Thursday for allegedly causing the crash. According to the criminal complaint, traffic cameras did not capture the incident, but did capture the Rav4 before and after the crash.
When authorities interviewed Freeman, court documents allege he said his vehicle had been damaged for some time. When asked how his vehicle became involved in the fatal crash, he allegedly suggested it had been stolen.
