TOWER CITY, N.D. (AP) - Authorities say three people were killed in eastern North Dakota after a head-on collision followed by another crash.
The Highway Patrol says the incident happened about 11:30 p.m. Friday on a county road east of Tower City. A 16-year-old girl driving an SUV crossed the center line and collided with a van. The driver and two passengers in the van, a 40-year-old man, a 46-year-old woman and a 43-year-woman were killed. Two passengers in the van, a man and a woman, were hurt.
Shortly after the first crash, a 37-year-old man from Utica, South Dakota, driving a pickup, crashed into the SUV. He wasn’t hurt, but was arrested for drunken driving and possession of marijuana.
The teenager driving the SUV was flown to a Fargo hospital with serious injuries.
