The North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) said that driver distraction caused a semi truck vs. pickup collision on I-94 on Monday.
On July 13, 2026, a pickup truck with attached camper trailer experienced mechanical problems and was traveling with hazard lights activated on I-94 west of New Salem.
The pickup and trailer were rear-ended by a semi truck.
No serious injuries were reported.
NDHP investigators determined that the truck driver was “distracted while eating and failed to recognize the slower-moving vehicle ahead.”
The truck driver was issued a citation for distracted driving.
