According to the sheriff's department: A 2000 Chevrolet Silverado with two occupants, driven by Ritchie Elliott, was northbound on LaBeaux attempting to turn west onto 57th Street Northeast. The driver of the silverado, Ritchie Elliott, collided with a 2000 BMW that was driven by Harry Hunt that had been traveling southbound on LaBeaux.

The BMW contained four occupants. The driver of the pickup, Elliot was taken into custody by Wright County Deputies on scene. Capt. Dan Anselment, head of the patrol department, said a blood test was later taken from Elliot, and the department is waiting for results before issuing a citation.
