(Austin, MN) -- One person is dead after a police chase the Minnesota State Patrol says involved officers from six different agencies and ended in a rollover crash near Waseca this (Fri) morning. Officers began pursuing the 46-year-old Oakdale driver near Austin, and the chase lasted about 30 minutes before the driver lost control on Highway 13. Investigators say the driver wasn't wearing a seatbelt, was thrown from the car and died at the scene. Austin Police and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are now on the scene of what may be a murder, searching the yard of a home where a body was discovered early this (Fri) morning. The crime scene is apparently connected somehow to the high-speed police chase that left a driver dead, but investigators aren't yet saying how the events are related.
