Moorhead Police said they received multiple reports around 6:30 p.m. of a vehicle that went off the road before crashing into a fence and a tree. The vehicle then caught fire, trapping the driver inside.
Several witnesses tried to pull the man from the burning vehicle before emergency crews arrived. Firefighters later got him out, but he had suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
