They were riding east when the driver lost control, jumped over the roadway, crashed and then rolled in a field across the road. It is not known which one of the boys was driving at the time of the accident.

Mason died at the scene of the accident, while Brody was flown to a Sanford’s Children’s Hospital in Fargo with a broken pelvis and a brain injury.
