(KNOX) –A man is dead and three others were hurt last Saturday at around 12:15am, when a BMW driver in Cass County was going 109 mph in a 55 mph zone.

The driver of the BMW is a 19-year-old Grand Forks man who had a 16-year-old and 17-year-old from Grand Forks in the vehicle with him. He was trying to flee a North Dakota Highway Patrol trooper after he was pulled over. They were going eastbound on County Road 14. The driver turned off the BMW’s headlights and ignored a stop sign at the intersection of County Road 81. 

The BMW struck a Honda Accord going southbound County Road 81, and the driver of the Honda was a 49-year-old man from Christine who died at the scene. 

All three teenagers were taken to Sanford Hospital in Fargo with non-life-threatening injuries. The names of the juveniles involved will not be released because of state law. The 19-year-old driver is being investigated for charges.
