A Burleigh County judge has reduced bond to $10,000 for Sidney Seidel, charged in connection with a fatal car crash in Bismarck. The judge initially set his bond at $20,000 but cut it in half on Friday. The crash occurred on 2 October at the intersection of Main Avenue West and Center Street in Bismarck at about 8:30 p.m.

According to Bismarck police, Seidel was racing in his car with another motorist, Cameron Schestler, when Schestler crashed into a third vehicle. Two teenagers who were passengers in that vehicle died from their injuries: Ben Moch, 17, and Taylor Fisher, 16. The driver of that vehicle, a 15-year-old boy, was injured. Seidel had two passengers in his own car at the time, including a four-month-old child.
