Bismarck, ND – Snowy conditions led to a semi-truck crash on Interstate 94 in Bismarck late Thursday as a winter storm swept across much of North Dakota. According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, no injuries were reported, but the crash serves as a stark reminder of the dangerous travel conditions blanketing the state.
Authorities said the incident occurred on I-94 near Bismarck amid heavy snowfall and slick roads. Emergency crews responded quickly, working in low visibility and frigid temperatures to clear the scene and ensure no motorists were trapped.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol urged drivers to slow down, increase their following distance, and allow extra travel time. “Please remember to slow down and move over when approaching flashing lights,” the department said in a social media post.
Much of the state remains under winter weather advisories as snow continues to impact highways, including stretches of I-29 and I-94. Officials encourage travelers to check the latest road conditions before heading out and to avoid unnecessary travel when visibility is low.
