The collision occurred about 12:50 p.m. Saturday on County Road 90 near Indian Lake Road, the Blue Earth County Sheriff’s Office said.
According to the Sheriff’s Office:
Jordis Lee Lewis, 18, of nearby Lake Crystal, was heading west on County Road 90, where he collided with an eastbound car. His car then caught fire.
Lewis and his passenger, 17-year-old Jackson Riley Tester, of Mankato, died at the scene.
“It appears as though Jordis Lewis may have been attempting to pass other westbound traffic when the collision occurred,” a Sheriff’s Office statement read.
The occupants of the other car, 56-year-old Dennis James Hanson, of Madison Lake, Minn., and daughter Kaleia Madelyn Hanson, were seriously hurt.
The returns were filed on behalf of themselves and others, according to federal prosecutors.
