A motorist was killed early Sunday following a brief chase on Interstate 94, the State Patrol said.

A trooper saw the vehicle moving rapidly on eastbound I-94 near Hamline Avenue just before 2 a.m. An attempt to halt the vehicle with emergency lights and sirens near Dale Street failed, according to an incident report.

The trooper aborted the pursuit as the motorist attempted to exit at Marion Street. The vehicle careened through an intersection and slammed into a concrete wall, the report said.
