An 18-year-old man from Barrett, Minn., died early Saturday in a fiery one-car crash in west-central Minnesota's Grant County.
Carter D. Overson was driving a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass north on Hwy. 55 near Barrett when it went off the road about 3 a.m., according to the State Patrol.
The underbrush and dry grasses under the car caught fire and then ignited the vehicle.
The patrol is continuing to investigate.
