On the evening of July 26, 2017 a speeding car plunged off the 41st Avenue North overpass onto interstate 94, then started on fire. MPD officers and two brave civilians jumped into action to get the two passengers out of the car before the vehicle was completely engulfed with flames. We are proud of their […]
The speeding car had veered off the road and plunged off an overpass onto Interstate 94.
By the time two Minneapolis police officers got to the scene late Wednesday, they found the dark-colored Cadillac ATS smoldering and its two occupants trapped inside, according to police and witnesses. Minutes later, flames began shooting out from the hood.
After pulling the female passenger — identified as Lancha Robertson, 37, of Minneapolis — to safety, they struggled to free the unconscious driver.
The dash cam video shows the officers, later joined by another cop and at least two passersby, yanking the driver, Floyd Cunningham, out of the car. By then the vehicle was engulfed in flames.
Bystanders can be heard cheering as the officers dragged Cunningham onto the highway shoulder, while passing motorists honked their horns.
According to police and witnesses, Cunningham was driving east on N. 41st Avenue, where it turns into Washington Avenue, just before 10 p.m. last Wednesday when the car jumped the curb and went airborne through a guardrail. The car plunged an estimated 16 feet onto the westbound lanes of Interstate 94 below, landing upright.
The officers tried to resuscitate Cunningham, 31, of Minneapolis, but he later died at a hospital. Robertson’s condition wasn’t available on Monday.
A police spokeswoman said over the weekend that she couldn’t release the officers’ names, citing department privacy rules. She said the officers all worked the overnight shift in the Fourth Precinct, which covers the city’s North Side.
Authorities said speed, but not alcohol, appears to be a factor in the crash, which is being investigated by the State Patrol.
