2 Dead in St. Louis County Crash
The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office has identified the two 23-year-olds killed in a single-vehicle crash Saturday around 2:45 a.m. on Highway 8 near Floodwood.
Deputies responded to the area after an automated 911 call from an iPhone relaying that the owner had been in a severe crash. Deputies found two occupants of the vehicle deceased at the scene, with the driver still trapped inside and critically injured. The driver was airlifted to a nearby hospital and is currently in stable condition.
Alcohol and speed appear to be contributing factors of the crash and it remains under investigation, the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office said. There were no other vehicles involved.
The two people killed were Joseph D. Trowbridge, 23, of Woodbury, and Madison J. Warren, 23, of Oakdale, Minn. The driver, Darren A. Tenney, 23, of New Richmond, Wisc., remains hospitalized.
