Three people were injured Sunday in a two-vehicle accident east of Cando, N.D.

According to the report, a 1984 International farm truck operated by 81-year-old Sigurd Bjornstad, Cando, was northbound on a Towner County gravel road when it failed to stop at an stop sign at the intersection of N.D. Highway 17.
Bjornstad’s vehicle was struck broadside by a westbound vehicle operated by Leroy Anderson, 73, Mandan, N.D., police said. The Anderson vehicle, a 2011 Buick, rotated clockwise and came to rest facing north on the county road. The Bjornstad vehicle ended up in a field.
Bjornstad, Anderson and Janice Anderson, 69, Mandan, N.D., a passenger in the Anderson 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.
The Towner County Sheriff’s Department, Cando Fire Department and Towner County Ambulance assisted the Highway Patrol at the scene.
