Excessive speed and wet roads apparently were factors in a
one-vehicle crash that sent five people to the hospital early Saturday, Moorhead
police said.
Dustin Bruce Martin, 23, of Fargo,
was driving a 1979 Monte Carlo on Fourth Street South when he lost control and
struck two boulevard trees at 14th Avenue South, near Riverside Elementary
School, Sgt. Dan Griffin said in a press release.
Moorhead police responded to the
accident at 2:12 a.m.
Three of the victims had to be
removed from the vehicle by Moorhead Fire and Rescue. All five were taken to
MeritCare Hospital for injuries.
Martin was listed in guarded
condition Saturday afternoon. The names and conditions of the other four victims
were not available.
Griffin said it appeared none of the
victims was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. The vehicle was
totaled.
Police wanted to talk to the
occupants of a white car -- possibly a Ford Probe -- that was seen in the area
of the crash to obtain more information about what happened.
