One teenager died and one was injured late Friday when the car they were in struck a farm tractor in northern Minnesota.
According to the State Patrol, three teens were in an eastbound 1989 Chevrolet Caprice that crested a hill about 11:20 p.m. on 190th Street at S. 335th Avenue south of Akeley. The car collided with a westbound tractor pulling a Haybine. The Caprice went into a ditch and rolled over.
A passenger, Anneka E. Davis, 18, of Nevis, was killed. A second passenger, James A. Geschwill, 19, of Akeley, was taken to a Fargo hospital with noncritical injuries. The 17-year-old driver was not injured, according to the patrol.
The driver was wearing a seat belt, but Davis and Geschwill were not, the patrol said.
The tractor driver, Mark L. Gunkel, 55, of Akeley, was not hurt.
Roads were dry at the time, the patrol said.
