The driver, a 20-year-old Motley man, was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital with serious injuries. A passenger, a 20-year-old Elk River woman, was airlifted to a St. Cloud hospital with serious injuries. Another passenger, a 20-year-old Motley man, was taken to a Staples hospital for injuries.

Sheriff Burch says the investigation is ongoing with formal charges pending.
