JAMESTOWN, N.D. (KNSI) The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a crash between a semitrailer and a pickup has killed six men on Interstate 94 near Jamestown.

Sgt. Josh Rude says the six men were in a westbound pickup when the driver lost control. The pickup went through the median and was struck on the passenger side by an eastbound semitrailer.

Rude says all six men in the pickup were killed.

He says the driver of the semitrailer was taken to a Jamestown hospital for treatment of what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries.

The men's identities are being withheld pending notification of relatives.

Rude says the highway is extremely icy in the area, but the North Dakota Department of Transportation is plowing and laying sand.
