The Patrol reported that two passengers in the car died at the scene: 13-year-old Trent Salminen of Hibbing, and 16-year-old Aiden Hall, whose hometown was not listed.

The driver of the car, 17-year-old Tyler Farnsworth of Hibbing, and a passenger, 15-year-old Jordan Farnsworth, also of Hibbing, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Patrol said a passenger in the camper, 59-year-old Terry Alsaker of Chisholm, received non-life-threatening injuries. The driver, 61-year-old Daniel Alsaker, also of Chisholm, was not injured.
