Mankato. MN (KROC-AM News) - Police in Mankato have posted several photos of two vehicles that were involved in a recent street race that resulted in a crash that left another motorist with severe injuries.

A news release on the City of Mankato website says investigators obtained the images from videos recorded by security cameras along the route of the illegal race through downtown Mankato around 10 PM on June 4. The Mankato Department of Public Safety is hoping someone will recognize the vehicles and provide investigators with information that will help them identify the drivers.
