The 42-year-old son of U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer crashed into a North Dakota sheriff's vehicle during a police chase, pushing it into a deputy and killing him, according to authorities and the Republican senator's family.
Ian Cramer, of Bismarck, was arrested and jailed following Wednesday's crash and charges are pending, the North Dakota Highway Patrol said in a news release. The name of the Mercer County deputy who was killed has not been released, and the sheriff's office didn't immediately respond to a Thursday voicemail seeking further information.
