D.C. police said two people died at the scene of a crash along Minnesota Avenue and Hunt Place in Northeast on Saturday. At around 5:30 p.m., according to police, a truck was heading Northbound on Minnesota Avenue when the driver ran a red light.

Assistant Chief Wilfredo Manlapaz said the driver was suffering from a medical emergency when the collision occurred — a passenger was inside of the vehicle and the driver was hospitalized. A preliminary investigation revealed that a male bicyclist was hit first — some distance away from the firework stand. The cyclist and worker at the stand were killed in the crash, according to Manlapaz. The investigation is ongoing.
