BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — Vehicular homicide charges have been filed against the driver of a car who led police on a chase near the Mall of America that ended with a fatal crash.

A 24-year-old passenger, Sondra Heger, was seriously injured and died at Hennepin County Medical Center.
The driver, 27-year-old Nicholas Lowers, of Blaine, was treated at the hospital and then taken to jail. It was not immediate clear if he has hired an attorney.
