SARGENT COUNTY, N.D. (KFGO) – Two people were seriously injured in a three-vehicle crash in Sargent County, North Dakota Sunday night.
The Highway Patrol says the crash happened seven miles east of Milnor, shortly before 8 p.m.
A Toyota Avalon and a GMC Terrain were eastbound on Highway 13 when a westbound Nissan Altima pulled into the eastbound lane to pass another westbound vehicle. The Toyota served right, and the Nissan side-swiped the Toyota.
That caused the Nissan to rotate and the GMC then T-boned the Nissan on the passenger side. The Nissan caught fire and a passerby pulled the driver out.
The Nissan driver, a 39-year-old Fargo man, was transported by ambulance to Lisbon Hospital, and then flown by Air Med to Sanford Hospital in Fargo with serious, life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the GMC, a 28-year-old woman, and a one-year-old child who was in a rear-facing car seat, both from Milnor, were taken by ambulance to Sanford Hospital in Fargo. The woman had serious non-life-threatening injuries. The infant was not hurt. A passenger in the pickup and the driver of the Toyota were not injured.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol, Sargent and Richland County Sheriff’s Offices, Milnor and Wyndmere Fire Departments, ambulances from Milnor, Lisbon, Forman, and Wynmere, and Sanford Air Med responded to the crash.
