I-94 Crash Kills 2 In Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS — Two people died Sunday night in a single-car crash on Interstate 94 in Minneapolis. Authorities said just before 9:30 p.m, a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer was traveling southbound on the highway when it took the exit for 4th Street.

The car went off the roadway toward the east median between I-94 and the exit. The vehicle collided with a bridge abutment, police said. The Minnesota State Patrol said it's not clear if alcohol was a factor in the collision.

The crash killed the driver, Antwanika Quatanae Myles, 22, and passenger Tyrone Derese Watkins, 20. Both were residents of Anoka.

Watkins was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash, according to investigators.

A second passenger, Tiffany Gordon, 39, suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported to the Hennepin County Medical Center.
