Authorities identified on Tuesday two pedestrians who died in separate weekend crashes in St. Paul.

A driver struck Steve Phongdesawat, 32, of New Hope, early Saturday near Lake Phalen.

On Sunday, Pang Foua Yang, 36, died after a driver hit her with his vehicle in the Como neighborhood, according to police.

In both instances, police say the drivers stayed on the scene and cooperated with officers.

Sunday crash

In the second of the weekend crashes, officers responded to the 1000 block of Stinson Street on a report of a crash and found Yang not conscious or breathing.

The driver struck Yang and his vehicle stopped in her backyard, police said.

St. Paul Fire Department medics pronounced her dead at the scene.

Saturday crash

In the earlier crash, officers were sent about 12:45 a.m. Saturday to Maryland Avenue and Clarence Street.

The driver who struck Phongdesawat called 911 and stayed on the scene, according to police.

The man reported he was driving west on Maryland Avenue, crossing Clarence Street, and didn’t see Phongdesawat before he struck him.

Medics transported Phongdesawat to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
