Timothy Rundquist

Vehic/Purs

A Minnesota State Patrol trooper tried to pull over a Volkswagen Jetta for speeding on Highway 54 near Elbow Lake. Rundquist kept driving, leading law enforcement on a 15- to 20-mile chase. Rundquist slowed down as he drove through the city of Elbow Lake and did not drive erratically. The chase reached speeds of 80 mph at some points. Law enforcement officers put down "stop sticks," which Rundquist's car struck. He then drove head-on into an unoccupied Ashby Police Department squad car. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
