The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension identified a teenage girl killed in a pursuit with an Itasca County sheriff's deputy over the weekend.

Angelica Bryan, 13, of Cass Lake was driving a minivan without headlights around 1:30 a.m. Sunday when the BCA said a deputy activated his lights on County Road 63 in western Cohasset Township.

The minivan accelerated, at times reaching speeds over 90 mph, and a trooper with the State Patrol unsuccessfully deployed a stop stick tire deflation device during the pursuit.

Still without headlights, the BCA said the minivan continued to flee before leaving the road and crashing into a tree. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene.

Bryan's mother, Jeannie Wittner, said her daughter was placed with a foster family in Grand Rapids that night and she was driving back to be home in Cass Lake.

"That's all she wanted," Wittner said Wednesday morning while on her way to the funeral home to make funeral arrangements.

In its preliminary investigation, the BCA found the minivan was stolen that night from a residence in Cohasset.

Families in Cass Lake are grieving the loss of Bryan, with many mothers saying their daughters grew up with the young girl.

MacKenzie Johnson said in a Facebook post that her little sister had so much more life to experience.

"My heart is broken and I can't imagine a system failing a little girl so hard she felt the need to flee like she did. The police were just doing [their] job, but I don't think any social worker gave her the help she truly needed," Johnson said.

The pursuit and crash remain under investigation by the BCA.
