The North Dakota Highway Patrol shared that a pickup truck hauling a trailer struck a snow plow west of Casselton on Tuesday afternoon at around 2:19 p.m. The truck lost control due to icy conditions, swerving to avoid a semi that had moved over for the snow plow on the side of the road. The driver failed to maneuver, crashing into the plow. (Video below)
(From the NDHP’s Facebook post) Interstates are CLOSED:
• I-94 from Valley City to Fargo
• I-29 from Grand Forks to the South Dakota line
These closures are due to ice-covered roads, multiple crashes, vehicles sliding into the ditch, and high-profile/empty-load commercial vehicles losing control.
Traveling on closed roadways is illegal. You can be fined and emergency responders may not be able to reach you if you get stuck or crash.
