(Mandan, ND) -- A man is under arrest in connection with a deadly hit-and-run.

Police say the suspect hit a pedestrian Monday morning with a pick-up in the All Seasons Arena parking lot next to Mandan High School. The 77-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

An officer tried to stop the suspect vehicle about an hour later, but it sped off leading to a high-speed chase. The chase ended when the 39-year-old suspect crashed into a UPS truck and went off the road and down a hill before it hit a fence and he was taken into custody.
