Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — A two vehicle accident was  investigation by the North Dakota Highway Patrol  that occurred at the junction of Highway 52 North and the by-pass about 1-p.m., Thursday (Aug 1, 2013).  The accident involved a truck pulling a trailer and an SUV

     

A GMC Yukon Denali driven by 56 year old Randy Lynn of Pingree was southbound at 65-70 miles per hour on the left driving lane.  A southbound truck was next to the vehicle  on the right lane and slowing to turn west onto the bypass.

A pickup  truck driven by 29 year old Raymond Snare of Moorhead, MN  was eastbound on the bypass and stopped at the stop intersection of highway 52 a few miles north of Jamestown.

Snare  noticed the southbound truck slowing to turn west, then began the process of turning north onto highway 52,  and drove in front of  the southbound  SUV and was struck.

Both vehicles came to rest on the crossover and one in the southbound lane.  The trailer being pulled by pickup  came to rest on its side causing it to loose its load of rebar.

Traffic was routed around the crash for approximately 1.5 hours until the vehicles, trailer and load were removed from the roadway.    Lynn and a passenger 28 year old  Tyler Lynn were treated and released from Jamestown Regional Medical Center.

Neither Snare or a passnger, 15 year  old Kyle Peterson of Wheatland, ND were injured.  All were wearing seat belts.

$15,000 damage was reported to the SUV, $12,000 damage reported to the pickup.
