1 Killed, 3 Injured in Western ND Head-on Crash

BELFIELD, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a one man was killed and three others were injured in a head-on collision in western North Dakota.

The patrol says 21-year-old Dustin Buess of Great Bend, Kan., was killed in the crash Thursday night, north of Belfield.

Troopers say Buess was a passenger in a pickup driven by 29-year-old Jerry Newbold of Chikaska, Okla.

The patrol says Newbold was driving north on Highway 85 and lost control of the pickup on the snow-covered road. The vehicle collided with a pickup driven by 28-year-old Michael Maresh of Dickinson.

Troopers say 34-year-old Don McHugh of Chikaska was a passenger in Newbold's vehicle and was injured.
