On Friday evening, a man driving a red Honda Civic was involved in two hit and runs in Rochester, one of which was fatal, according to an article in the Minnesota Daily.
The first occurred when the driver, who witnesses say was going over the speed limit, ran into a car with eight passengers who had been barhopping that night including a 23-year-old U student.
After critically injuring the U student and killing another, the driver hit two pedestrians, both are in critical condition.
The Star Tribune reported that a 32-year-old man from Oronoco, Minn. with a history of arrests is in custody in connection with the accidents. Police said alcohol may be a factor but that the suspect was not "targeting people."
