Fatal Accident Claims Bena Youth

A wild ride got way out of control in Beltrami County over the weekend.

Sheriff's deputies arrested a 21-year-old driver on suspicion of drunken driving.  After the driver was removed from the vehicle, a 16-year-old Morris Beaulieu slid behind the wheel and led police on a chase that reached speeds of 100 miles per hour.

The chase ended when the vehicle rolled into a ditch and struck some trees. 

Beaulieu was flown to a Fargo hospital where he was pronounced dead.
