Nerf wars game led to New Hope crash, two injured

The crash occurred about 9:12 p.m. in the 4600 block of Winnetka Avenue. New Hope Police Chief Tim Fournier said two cars driven by Armstrong High School students were involved in a high-speed chase playing the popular game, which requires players to “stalk” and “kill” each other with toy guns.

Fournier said one of the drivers crashed into the bystander’s car and forced it off the road into a telephone pole, while the teen’s car came to rest in a front yard. Both cars had significant damage. The second teen car fled the scene. Two adults in the struck vehicle received noncritical injuries and have since been released from North Memorial Medical Center.
