Ransom County (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 Five people were hurt Friday evening after a side-by-side rolled over on a muddy, snow-covered road southwest of Elliott.<\/p>\n

According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol<\/a>, the crash happened around 6:30 p.m. in the 12200 block of 71st Street SE. The location is about 2.5 miles southwest of Elliott.<\/p>\n

Crash Happened On Minimum Maintenance Road<\/h2>\n

Investigators said a 36-year-old man from Lisbon was driving a 2026 Polaris Ranger westbound on a minimum maintenance road. The road was muddy and covered with snow.<\/p>\n

Authorities said the driver lost control. The side-by-side went off the road. It then came back onto the roadway and overturned.<\/p>\n

The driver was not wearing a seat belt. He suffered serious injuries. Emergency crews later flew him to Fargo for more treatment. The Highway Patrol said he may face a driving under the influence charge.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not released the names of the people involved.<\/p>\n

Passengers Also Hurt<\/h2>\n

The Polaris Ranger had four passengers at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n

A 29-year-old woman from Lisbon was injured. A 20-year-old woman from Valley City suffered serious injuries. Investigators said she was not wearing a seat belt.<\/p>\n

Two juvenile boys from Lisbon were also hurt. Both juveniles were wearing seat belts, according to the Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

All five people were taken to CHI Lisbon Health<\/a> for treatment. The most seriously injured victim was later airlifted by Sanford AirMed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several Agencies Responded<\/h2>\n

The crash remains under investigation. Assisting agencies included the Ransom County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>, Lisbon Fire Department, Lisbon Ambulance, and Sanford AirMed.<\/p>\n

Minimum maintenance roads can become dangerous fast in wet and snowy weather. Mud, ice, and poor traction can make side-by-sides harder to control.<\/p>\n

Officials have not yet released more details about possible charges or the condition of the injured passengers.<\/p>\n
