ALEXANDER, N.D. (AP) - A two-vehicle crash in western North Dakota has killed one woman and seriously injured another.

The Highway Patrol says the head-on crash happened Thursday morning on U.S. Highway 85 north of Alexander.

Authorities say 41-year-old Rebecca Lewis of Alexander was killed when her southbound car entered the northbound lanes and collided with an SUV.



Lewis died at the scene. The other driver, a 34-year-old woman from Watford City, suffered serious injuries and was flown to a Minot hospital.

The patrol says the road was wet and the weather foggy at the time.
