Grassy Butte , ND : 23-year-old man has died after a pickup truck and a straight truck collided at Highway 85 on Tuesday, December 2nd 2014
Grassy Butte, North Dakota
The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a 23-year-old man has died after a pickup truck and a straight truck collided on Highway 85.
Authorities say the pickup truck on Tuesday was heading north when the driver swerved to avoid hitting a deer. But the Chevrolet Silverado drove onto the icy east shoulder of the highway and began to rotate clockwise.
The pickup truck then entered the southbound lane directly into the path of the straight truck, which ended up striking the passenger side of the Silverado.
The Silverado's driver has been identified as 21-year-old Austin Krueger of St. Cloud, Minnesota. Authorities say the pickup truck's passenger died at the scene. He hasn't been publicly identified.
The highway patrol says 54-year-old Edward Buford of Great Falls, Minnesota, was driving the Freightliner.
