A fiery two-vehicle crash at a south Minneapolis intersection late at night killed one driver and critically injured the other, according to police.
The collision involving a car and an SUV occurred about 11:20 p.m. Tuesday at E. 38th Street and S. Portland Avenue, a police report read.
The drivers, both from Minneapolis, were taken in ambulances to HCMC, according to the report.
The report identified the motorist who died as 33-year-old Anthony J. Quaas, of Minneapolis. It identified the other driver as 60-year-old Jose H. Garcia. He went to the hospital with critical injuries, the report added.
Bystanders attempted to extinguish a fire in one of the vehicles, police spokesman Garrett Parten said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
"Excessive speed is a possible contributing factor" to the collision, the statement added.
