The Burnsville Police Department announced Friday that the crash that killed two 22-year-olds on Easter Sunday was caused by two vehicles racing.

A vehicle was hit by one of the racing vehicles after it had turned to go south on Newton Avenue, officials said. Both Ford and Garza died from blunt force injuries during the accident, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner said.
