Oriska (NDHP) — The driver of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) was cited Saturday after swiping a snow plow and a wrecker on I-94, two miles east of Oriska.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports, while the highway was closed between Bismarck and Fargo at 5 am, the ND Department of Transportation was working to clear snow drifts from the roadway.
Around 10 am a wrecker was towing a commercial motor vehicle from the median. The wrecker had its emergency lights flashing and was parked facing eastbound in the westbound passing lane.
A NDDOT snow plow came up on the wrecker to provide traffic control. Before the plow could back up , another CMV approached westbound on I-94 and swiped both the snow plow and wrecker, causing damage to both.
The driver was cited for Care Required and Drove on a Closed Road. The vehicle was taken to Valley City after the collision.
No one was hurt.
