Rear-end crash near Jamestown kills 1, injures 2

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say one person was killed and two were injured in a rear-end crash south of Jamestown Saturday afternoon.

The Highway Patrol says a 75-year-old man had stopped to make a left turn on U.S. Highway 281 about two miles south of Jamestown. His Chevrolet Trailblazer was struck in the right-rear corner by a GMC Yukon with three occupants, ages 17, 20 and 21.

The Yukon rolled several times and came to rest in the ditch. Its occupants were not wearing seatbelts and were ejected from the vehicle.

The patrol says one of the passengers in the Yukon died at the scene. The driver and another passenger are hospitalized with serious injuries.

The Jamestown Sun says the man driving the Trailblazer was not injured.

No further information was available.
