Steele, ND – Drivers traveling along Interstate 94 near mile marker 194 are experiencing delays today as crews work to remove a semi-truck involved in a crash early Thursday morning.
According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, a semi jackknifed in the median west of Steele around 5 a.m., where it was later t-boned by another vehicle. As of 10:40 a.m., recovery operations were still underway, prompting authorities to warn drivers of possible slowdowns in the area.
Troopers said the semi remains in the median as tow services and first responders work to safely remove the vehicle. Motorists heading eastbound on I-94 should expect brief traffic control measures and should remain alert for crew members working close to the roadway.
The Highway Patrol emphasized the importance of giving emergency personnel and tow operators sufficient room to operate, noting that heavy equipment will be active during the vehicle retrieval process. No update on injuries was provided in the initial report.
The affected stretch of interstate sits just west of Steele in Kidder County, a key travel corridor connecting Bismarck to communities across central North Dakota. Those commuting between Bismarck, Steele, and Jamestown may encounter intermittent slowdowns until the scene is fully cleared.
Drivers in the region are encouraged to reduce speeds, move over when possible, and plan for minor delays through the late morning.
