Cando\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The North Dakota Highway Patrol says \u00a0a \u00a06-year-old boy was ejected from a vehicle and died Thursday, after the vehicle he was riding in with two other adults attempted to pass another car.<\/p>\nCando\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The North Dakota Highway Patrol says \u00a0a \u00a06-year-old boy was ejected from a vehicle and died Thursday, after the vehicle he was riding in with two other adults attempted to pass another car.<\/p>\n
The crash happened at 3:33 p.m. 3 miles north of Cando on U.S. Highway 281 in northeast North Dakota.<\/p>\n
Sgt. Robert Kennedy reported \u00a0that both vehicles were traveling northbound on the highway. A 1999 SUV, driven by a 52-year-old Alden Cain from\u00a0 st. John, with passengers 47-year-old Kathy Caine also from St. John and the 6-year-old, Eugene Cain from St. John was heading to a rural farmstead. A 44-year-old man from Devils Lake\u00a0 Todd Stephens, was driving a 2014 Toyota Prius with two juvenile passengers,\u00a0 8 year old Logan Stephens\u00a0 and 10 year old Rogue Stephens from Cando.<\/p>\n
Leading up to the crash, the Prius slowed down and the driver activated his turn signal to make a left hand turn onto 77th Street Northeast. The trailing SUV however, overtook the intersection to pass and was struck by the Prius on the passenger side. The SUV ended up in the east ditch and rolled over, and that’s when the child was ejected from the Cain vehicle.<\/p>\n
Law requires any child under the age of 7 to be in a car seat or booster, but the 6-year-old was only wearing a seatbelt, Kennedy said. The child was ejected due to being improperly secured in the seat and was later declared dead at the Towner County Medical Center.<\/p>\n
The other passenger and the driver of the SUV were airlifted to Altru Hospital in Grand Forks and their conditions are unknown at this time.<\/p>\n
The driver and passengers of the Prius, received\u00a0 no injuries \u00a0and were all wearing seatbelts, including the 8-year-old who was properly secured in a car seat.<\/p>\n
Kennedy said he would not comment on the relationship between the 6-year-old and others in the Mountaineer SUV at the time.<\/p>\n
The crash remains under investigation by the Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n
Responding to the scene were the Towner County Sheriff’s Department, Cando Fire and Rescue and the Egeland Fire Department.<\/p>\n
