N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The names of two men involved in a fatal collision that claimed the life of one have been released.

31 year-old Robert Keith of Granville was traveling eastbound on Highway 52 at around 8:oo AM, roughly five miles North of Drake when he crossed the center line and was struck head-on by a semi. Keith’s pickup spun counterclockwise and came to rest on the shoulder. The semi left the road and jackknifed with its triple trailer coming to rest upright behind the overturned semi.

32 year-old Jesse Thiele of Minot needed to be extricated from the semi and was flown to Minot for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Keith was killed in the crash. Highway 52 was closed for three hours while cleanup took place.
