A woman is dead and a man is recovering after a pedestrian-involved crash Monday evening in St. Louis Park.

Police responded to reports of a vehicle crash involving multiple pedestrians around 6 p.m. on the 3900 block of Meadowbrook Road.

Court documents state that officers arrived on scene and found two people lying unconscious in the street. A 51-year-old woman was pronounced dead on scene and a 60-year-old man was brought to the hospital, where he is receiving medical care for serious injuries.

Officers spoke with witnesses and learned that the two pedestrians were crossing the street in the crosswalk when a vehicle driven by Jeremy Ryan Sherman, 38, hit them. A witness told authorities Sherman’s vehicle was “traveling very fast” and didn’t appear to slow down or brake before hitting the pedestrians.

According to court records, officers on the scene smelt a strong odor of alcohol coming from Sherman’s breath, but he denied drinking any alcohol and said he had just gotten off of work.

Sherman agreed to a field sobriety test but was said he was “freaking out right now, just hit two people with my car.” He also refused to provide a breath test and was placed under arrest by police.

On Tuesday, Sherman was charged with one count of criminal vehicular homicide while under the influence of alcohol and one count of criminal vehicular operation while under the influence of alcohol.

His first court appearance is scheduled for Thursday.

A spokesperson for commercial printing company Japs-Olson confirmed the people who were hit were employees. She declined to go on camera on Tuesday but said it’s been an incredibly tough day for all who work here. Several flower bouquets were laid near the crosswalk where it happened.

The spokesperson released the following statement via email:

“We are devastated by the tragic incident involving members of our JO team. Our thoughts are with those directly affected, their loved ones, and our entire JO community during this difficult time.

Out of respect for the privacy of those involved, and to allow for the appropriate investigations to take place, we are unable to provide any further comment at this time.”

Authorities are asking anyone who witnessed the crash or has additional information to call St. Louis Park Police at 952-924-2618.
