Fatal ATV crash in northern Minnesota reported by sheriff
Authorities in northern Minnesota are currently investigating a tragic ATV accident that claimed the lives of two individuals on Saturday evening. The incident occurred close to 9:20 p.m. on Ditch Bank Forest Road in Progress Township, situated approximately 40 miles west of Duluth. The victims, a 48-year-old woman from the Cloquet area and a 59-year-old man from out of state, unfortunately did not survive despite attempts by bystanders to perform CPR.

Carlton County Sheriff Kelly Lake revealed that the pair had been part of a group riding in a side-by-side ATV but got separated before their vehicle overturned in water.
