Jamestown

(NDHP) The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports that at 2 pm on Thursday, Troopers responded to a rollover involving a semi near Jamestown.

A Peterbilt semi and trailer hauling cattle driven by 25-year-old Dannie Swartzentruber of Browerville, Minnesota was traveling southbound on the Highway 281 bypass just crossing over I94. Swartzentruber was turning left to head east on the Interstate 94 ramp. He was traveling too fast while trying to turn, and the cattle shifted in the trailer. This caused the semi and trailer to tip on the passenger side. The semi and trailer came to rest on the eastbound ramp on its passenger side.

With the assistance of Jamestown Rural Fire, Southwood Veterinary Clinic, and local ranchers, the cattle were transported to the Jamestown Livestock yard.

As a result of the crash, 14 cattle were killed out of the 127 in transport.

The crash is under investigation by the North Dakota Highway Patrol.
