STANLEY - An 84-year-old Stanley man was killed Thursday night when his vehicle hit a truck in Mountrail County.

Larson’s van struck the back of the trailer. His 2006 Dodge Caravan received severe damage to its front end and the front airbags deployed.
Larson was not wearing a seatbelt and died at the scene. Watkins was not injured.
