The Minnesota State Patrol is investigating a fatal crash in St. Paul that happened early Wednesday.

The driver of a Tesla “was at a high rate of speed” when it exited from eastbound Interstate 94 to Dale Street, according to the State Patrol. The vehicle collided with a Toyota RAV4 crossing the intersection at 2:56 a.m.

There were two people in the Tesla — a 22-year-old man from Fridley was driving and a 19-year-old woman was the passenger — and one in the Toyota, a 31-year-old man from St. Paul.

The State Patrol didn’t immediately release information Wednesday morning about which of the people died, and a spokesperson said more information will be available later in the day.
