A single-vehicle rollover took place on Willow River Road about 15 miles Southwest of Orr at 2:00 p.m. Sunday. Leona Ruth Connor, 32, was driving a Chrysler Concorde westbound when she lost control on a corner and rolled into the north side ditch. Connor was transported to Essentia Health Virginia Hospital with non–life threatening injuries. Her passenger, Derrick Laroque, 34, was taken to Cook Hospital, and later airlifted to a Duluth hospital with serious injuries. Alcohol was a factor, and the crash remains under investigation.
