MINNEAPOLIS — One person is dead after a single-vehicle crash Saturday night on Interstate 35W at Lake Street in Minneapolis.
Minnesota State Patrol initially said two people were killed in the crash, which caused a nearby Metro Transit bus station to catch fire. On Sunday, MSP said there was actually a single fatality in the crash.
"Preliminary investigation indicated this was a double fatality crash," an MSP spokesperson wrote on Twitter. "Further investigation determined there was a single occupant in the vehicle."
Metro Transit said buses were going to start stopping at the station next week, and a media event that was scheduled to be held on Monday has been postponed.
According to a Sunday release from the Minneapolis Fire Department, the car and the bus structure both caught fire in the crash. MFD said damage to the bus structure was "mostly cosmetic."
