Two teenage passengers in the vehicle were also seriously injured, with one flown to Hennepin County Medical center and the other to the Sanford Hospital in Fargo. 

The fourth Mazda occupant, another teenager, suffered a broken wrist and was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Park Rapids.

The Nevis and Akeley Fire and Rescue departments responded to the scene, as did North Ambulance and three life-flight helicopters.

The crash remains under investigation.
