DANIEL F. FOLEY, Judge.*
The state appeals the district court’s conclusion that it failed to demonstrate probable cause that C.P.W. committed criminal vehicular homicide and operation when he pursued J.M.P. in a high-speed car chase and J.M.P. crashed into two other vehicles, injuring several people and killing one person. Because we find the state presented substantial evidence that C.P.W.’s actions were a proximate cause of the injuries and death, and J.M.P.’s decision to run a red light was not a superseding intervening cause, we reverse and remand.
