VADNAIS HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) - A Ramsey County sheriff’s deputy crashed a squad car into a commercial building in Vadnais Heights, struck a gas line and ignited a fire in the building.
The deputy escaped without serious injuries. And officials say no one was in the building when the crash occurred about 10 p.m. Thursday.
