LUVERNE, N.D. (AP) - Steele County authorities say three people injured in a rollover crash near Luverne have been found after a three-hour search from the ground and the air.

Sheriff Wayne Beckman says one of the victims used a cell phone to call for help but was not able to give an exact location of the sport utility vehicle crash.

About 30 sheriff's deputies, Highway Patrol troopers and a U.S. Border Patrol helicopter started searching about 4 a.m.

Beckman says someone spotted one of the victims walking for help about three jours later and led rescuers to the wreck, along a seldom used township road. He says the SUV was barely visible because of corn fields.

Two people were taken to the Cooperstown hospital and another was flown to Fargo. The Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
