Pennington County (trfnews.i234.me) – On the morning of April 3 at 9:44 a.m., the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office responded to a single-vehicle rollover accident near the intersection of 170th Street Northwest and Pembina Trail Northwest.
According to the report, Louis Bohl, of Minot, North Dakota, was driving a 2013 Ford F-150 westbound on 170th Street when the vehicle hydroplaned on the slushy roadway. The truck lost traction, slid sideways into a ditch, and rolled.
Kelly Bohl, a passenger in the vehicle, sustained minor injuries in the crash. The report did not specify whether medical treatment was sought at the scene or afterward.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident, and weather conditions likely played a role, given the roadway’s slushy condition at the time.
