A minivan struck a tree and ended up in a river near the North Dakota-Minnesota border, killing both occupants, authorities said today.
The minivan was discovered by a passerby shortly before 7 this morning in 3-4 feet of water in the Wild Rice River, the North Dakota State Patrol said.
The van had been eastbound County Road 4, west of Abercrombie, and failed to negotiate a curve, the State Patrol said.
The victims are both 49 years old and from Wahpeton, N.D. The driver, a man, was thrown from the vehicle. The passenger, a woman, was found in the van. Their identities have yet to be released.
