GRAND FORKS — Three people were injured Sunday in a two-vehicle accident east of Cando, N.D.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol said the accident occurred at 6:08 p.m. along N.D. Highway 17, two miles east of Cando.
According to the report, a 1984 International farm truck operated by Sigurd Bjornstad, 81, Cando, was northbound on a Towner County gravel road when it failed to stop at the intersection of Highway 17.
Bjornstad’s vehicle was struck broadside by a westbound vehicle operated by Leroy Anderson, 73, of Mandan, police said. Anderson’s vehicle, a 2011 Buick, rotated clockwise and came to rest facing north on the county road. Bjornstad’s truck ended up in a field.
Bjornstad, Anderson and Janice Anderson, 69, of Mandan, a passenger in Anderson’s vehicle, were transported to Towner County Medical Center in Cando. The Andersons later were transferred to Bismarck with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the report.
A condition report on Bjornstad was not immediately available. Bjornstad was cited with failure to yield at a stop intersection, according to police.
