Resident Marty Hinz said the off-road vehicle "snapped off three trees about 10 inches in diameter" before it came to rest about 20 feet from the end of his drive on N. Pike Lake Road.

One of four occupants of an off-road vehicle that crashed after dark north of Duluth has died, and officials suspect alcohol played a role in the wreck.

The crash of the side-by-side machine occurred shortly after 10 p.m. on May 6 near the intersection of N. Pike Lake and Helm roads in Canosia Township, the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office said.

Emergency responders took the vehicle's occupants to Duluth area hospitals for treatment of their injuries, the Sheriff's Office said.
