that occurred on January 25, 2024 at approximately 9:30 AM CST at the intersection of Highway

A 2015 Kenworth Truck pulling an empty sandbox trailer was southbound on 93rd Ave. NW and
approaching the intersection with Highway 2. The 2015 Kenworth came to a stop and attempted
to cross the intersection to go east on Highway 2. A 2021 Chevy Equinox was westbound on

partially in the eastbound lanes. The 2021 Equinox came to rest in the westbound lanes.
The 2015 Kenworth Truck attempted to move itself off the highway to a safer location. At this
time, five more vehicles who were eastbound on Highway 2 became involved in the crash. The
sequence of these events is unknown at this time. The North Dakota Highway Patrol is currently
investigating the crash and attempting to locate all drivers, passengers and extent of their
injuries.
