Cass County, North Dakota — A semi crash on Interstate 29 northbound near mile marker 27 triggered a highway response Saturday.
According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, troopers responded to the scene along I-29 northbound in Cass County on Saturday, March 14, where a semi-truck appeared to become disabled or jackknifed amid snowy roadway conditions.
A photo released by the agency shows a semi-trailer angled across part of the interstate shoulder while a Highway Patrol vehicle with emergency lights activated blocks the lane behind it. Snow is visible on the roadway, and visibility appears reduced in the image.
Authorities identified the location as mile marker 27 on Interstate 29, a stretch of highway north of Fargo that serves as a major north-south corridor through eastern North Dakota.
Officials did not immediately release information about injuries, how long the semi had been stopped, or whether additional vehicles were involved. The extent of traffic delays was also not immediately confirmed.
Drivers traveling through the area may encounter slow traffic or lane restrictions while troopers and responding crews manage the scene.
The Highway Patrol frequently urges motorists to reduce speed, increase following distance, and remain alert for emergency vehicles during winter travel conditions, particularly along open interstate stretches where drifting snow and reduced visibility can develop quickly.
For many students, commuters, and workers traveling between Fargo and smaller Cass County communities, Interstate 29 is a primary route, making incidents along the corridor capable of slowing regional travel.
Motorists are advised to monitor official road condition updates and watch for emergency vehicles when approaching the area.
