MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — St. Paul Police say they’ve made an arrest in a fatal crash that killed a Twin Cities grandmother last week.

St. Paul police say the driver of a stolen car ran through a stop sign on Atlantic Street Jan. 7 and crashed into the victim’s vehicle that was headed east on Minnehaha Avenue.

The victim was identified as Alison Annen from St. Paul.

Police spotted a stolen Ford Focus around 3 a.m. Thursday near Frank Street North and Phalen Boulevard in St Paul.

When an officer began to follow the car to investigate, it took and the officer did not pursue. A short time later, the car was found after crashing into a PT Cruiser.

A 59-year-old passenger in the victim’s vehicle was also injured and taken to the hospital.

On Friday evening, St. Paul Police announced they’d taken 31-year-old Xia Her-Xiong, of Minneapolis, into custody. Charges were filed by the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office of criminal vehicular homicide and auto theft.

There is a GoFundMe to help pay for funeral expenses.
