(KNSI) – No one was seriously hurt after a semi-truck crashed and blocked traffic on Interstate 94 in Stearns County for hours.
The Minnesota State Patrol was called around 2:30 on Friday afternoon to milepost 155, about three miles east of Avon. The truck driver says he was headed east when he swerved to avoid a collision and rolled. The truck landed on its side and blocked both lanes of traffic for more than three hours.
The 43-year-old driver from Franklinton, Louisiana, was taken to CentraCare-St. Cloud Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
