A 70-year-old man from Cambridge, Minn., died Sunday afternoon after a crash in Isanti.

James Verner Wickoren was attempting to cross Hwy. 65 at about 2:45 p.m. when he was broadsided by another vehicle, causing his car to roll into the median, the Minnesota State Patrol said.

The other driver, Houston Gregory Becker, 20, of Isanti, and his passenger, Jack Henry Carlson, also 20, of New Richmond, Wis., suffered noncritical injuries and were treated at Cambridge Medical Center, according to the State Patrol.

All three men were wearing seat belts, and alcohol was not a factor in the crash, the patrol said.
