FARGO (KFGO) – A Fargo man has been arrested following the early Friday morning traffic death of a woman in south Fargo.
Police say the victim was in a car driven by 24-year-old Dylan M.E. Lepard. At about 3 a.m., an officer attempted a traffic stop on the car, but Lepard headed west on 32nd Ave. at high speed. At some point, police say it appears the woman, a passenger, got out of the car while it was still moving. She was found in the parking lot of an apartment complex and died as police, firefighters and FM Ambulance paramedics did CPR.
Lepard was arrested for leaving the scene of a deadly accident, reckless endangerment and on a warrant for not appearing in court in an unrelated case.
The name of the woman is not expected to be released until Monday.
