How they died

Vehic/Purs

Two men who died in a fiery crash at the end of a police chase have been identified as Steven Gunderson and William Hogetvedt, both 37 and from Minneapolis. They died from injuries received in the accident, according to the Ramsey County medical examiner's office. Minneapolis police said they tried to stop the men for a traffic violation. A chase ensued, but police say they ended the pursuit when they lost sight of the car. Moments later, the car exited Interstate 694 and crashed into a traffic-light pole on Silver Lake Road. The car caught fire, and police reported hearing one of the men pounding on the window.
