Strong winds are blamed for separate accidents along I-29 in Traill County this afternoon.
In both cases the vehicles were heading north when strong gusty winds caused a semi to land on its side and a pickup pulling an RV to tip. The Peterbilt and trailer ended up in the ditch. The RV came to rest blocking the outside lane.
The accidents occurred around 2:00 p.m. south of Reynolds. According to the NDHP the 39-year old driver of the pickup was transported to Altru Hospital in Grand Forks with non-life threatening injuries.
Northbound traffic was reduced to one lane for two-and-a-half hours while the accident scene was cleared.
