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.
