6 Injured In Head-On Crash Near Bemidji

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A two-vehicle crash about one and a half miles west of Bemidji that happened last weekend left six people with varying degrees of injury.

The crash involved a GMC Sonoma being driven by a 21-year-old with no passengers, and a 2001 Ford Taurus that, in addition to the 32-year-old driver, was also carrying four other people. Investigators say the former vehicle crossed the median and struck the latter.

The crash happened at about 8:25 p.m. on June 6, and near the intersection of Highway 2 and Highway 89 in Eckles Township.

The Beltrami County Sheriff's Office says both drivers "exhibited signs of impairment," and all passengers received some level of injury in the crash.
