COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police in Columbus are searching for a driver who struck a minivan on Interstate 71, leading to the deaths of two people.

Officers say a car struck the minivan shortly after 2:30 a.m. Sunday, forcing it off the highway, and then fled the scene. The van flipped several times, ejecting the male driver and his female passenger. The male died at the scene, and the female later died at a hospital.

Their names and ages were not released.

Police were seeking information on the car that hit them. It's described as a maroon Dodge Charger with large chrome rims, tinted windows and likely front-end damage.
