Bismarck Dump Truck Strikes I-94 Structure<\/h2>\n

Bismarck (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 A dump truck struck an overhead structure on Interstate 94 east of Bismarck Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The crash happened near mile marker 166, according to the North Dakota Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

The incident was reported at approximately 3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The truck was traveling through a closed section of the westbound lanes when the collision happened.<\/p>\n

Dump Box Left Raised<\/h2>\n

The Highway Patrol said the driver had recently unloaded asphalt.<\/p>\n

However, the driver forgot to lower the truck’s dump box afterward.<\/p>\n

The raised box then struck an overhead structure as the truck traveled along Interstate 94.<\/p>\n

The initial report did not identify the driver.<\/p>\n

It also did not provide information about possible injuries.<\/p>\n

Officials did not immediately release details about damage to the overhead structure.<\/p>\n

The condition of the dump truck was also not detailed in the initial report.<\/p>\n

Crash Happened Inside Closed Lanes<\/h2>\n

The collision happened within a section of the westbound lanes already closed to traffic.<\/p>\n

Because of that location, the crash was not affecting regular Interstate 94 traffic.<\/p>\n

The Highway Patrol did not report additional traffic restrictions following the incident.<\/p>\n

Motorists traveling through the Bismarck area should still watch for construction zones and changing road conditions.<\/p>\n

Drivers should also follow posted signs and reduce speed when approaching highway work areas.<\/p>\n

Information about North Dakota highways is available from the North Dakota Department of Transportation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Travelers can also check road conditions through the state’s transportation resources before beginning a trip.<\/p>\n

Investigation Details Limited<\/h2>\n

The Highway Patrol’s initial announcement provided only limited details about the incident.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate information about possible citations or other enforcement action.<\/p>\n

The report also did not state how long the affected structure would remain under review.<\/p>\n

Additional details could be released if authorities complete further investigation or inspection work.<\/p>\n

More information about the agency is available from the North Dakota Highway Patrol<\/a>.<\/p>\n
