Two Forman, North Dakota residents were injured when their motorcycle went off road at 569 Gunflint Trail near the Grand Marais water tower.
The accident was called into the Cook County Law Enforcement dispatch at 10:39 a.m. on Tuesday, August 9. Law enforcement arrived on the scene three minutes later at 10:42 a.m.
Scott Allen Buckhouse was the driver of the motorcycle. His passenger was Michelle Larae Edwards. Both were thrown into the ditch, and Edwards was unconscious when law enforcement arrived.
