      74-year-old Dale Fredrick of Alliance and 20-year old Sheldon Gibbons Jr of Bayard were taken to hospitals for treatment, Fredrick by air ambulance.
Rodak says investigation into the cause of the crash continues, but the initial reports said restraints were in use and alcohol does not appear to have been a factor.
