SAUK RAPIDS -- An early morning crash sent two Sauk Rapids men to the hospital with serious injuries early this morning.

The driver, 21-year-old Robert Mead, was ejected and taken to the hospital where he's listed in critical condition. The lone passenger, 21-year-old Dustin Schlien had to be pried free from the wreckage. Schlien is listed in serious condition.
Police suspect alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
