CANDO, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a man and woman from Belcourt were killed Tuesday after their car collided with a semi-truck about 13 miles west of Cando.

The patrol says the 24-year-old man was driving the car east on North Dakota Highway 17 about 9 a.m. when he failed to negotiate a curve and struck the rear tires of the semi-truck with an empty hay rack trailer.

The car rotated and entered the south ditch coming to rest on its wheels on the shoulder, killing the driver and a 19-year-old female passenger. Another 19-year-old female passenger was flown to Trinity Hospital in Minot.

The truck driver was not injured.

No names were released. The accident is under investigation.
