A 72-year-old man is suspected of drinking before he rolled his SUV on a Mille Lacs County road in a crash that killed his brother, who was in the vehicle, the Sheriff's Office said Monday.

Ronald Lensegrav, of Buffalo, is in jail on suspicion of criminal vehicular operation resulting in death.

John Lensegrav, 70, was killed in the crash, which occurred southwest of Wahkon at about 6 p.m. Friday.

Deputies at the scene gave medical attention to the brothers, Sheriff Brent C. Lindgren said. Ronald Lensegrav was walking around, but John Lensegrav was on the ground and seriously injured.

The deputies said they believe drinking played a role in the crash, the sheriff said.
