Repeat Offender's Hit-and-Run Kills 5 Young Women in Minneapolis.

Derrick John Thompson, who served a hit-and-run sentence in a California prison until his release earlier this year, remained jailed Tuesday, awaiting charges after a crash killed five young women in Minneapolis when a speeding driver blew past a state trooper, ran a red light and slammed into their car. Thompson was evaluated at a hospital and then booked into the Hennepin County Jail on Monday in the aftermath of Friday’s crash. The victims were all between 17 and 20 years old. Thompson has a criminal history, including two convictions of fleeing police in Minnesota and a hit-and-run conviction in California.
