Police responded to a vehicle that went off the road and struck a tree shortly after 7:20 p.m. Saturday in the 7000 block of 68th Avenue N.
The crash was severe enough that the Brooklyn Park Fire Department was needed to extricate the two adults in the vehicle from the wreckage. Both were taken to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale.
The passenger, identified as Lamont Cunningham, 50, of Minneapolis, died of multiple blunt force injuries, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.
