1 dead, 1 injured after Ward County, ND crash

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — One man is dead and another injured after a two-vehicle crash in Ward County.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says two pickups collided at a county road intersection Thursday shortly before 2:30 p.m.

Investigators say a 30-year-old rural Granville man failed to yield and his vehicle struck the other on its passenger side. Both trucks came to rest in a ditch in the intersection's southwest corner.

The patrol says the rural Granville man wasn't wearing a seat belt and he was ejected. He died at the scene.

A 52-year-old man from Arkadelphia, Ark., who was in the other pickup, was injured. The severity of his injuries wasn't immediately known. He was wearing a seat belt.

The patrol hasn't released either man's name.
