The vehicle continued westbound through the ditch, where the front of the vehicle struck a tree. After the impact, the vehicle traveled onto a gravel frontage road before coming to rest in the ditch. The man was transported by Bowman Ambulance Service to Bowman Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The man was wearing his seat belt.

The crash remains under investigation by the North Dakota Highway Patrol.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
