NDHP1BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol says four people were injured in two weather-related crashes on Interstate 94.
 
     In the first wreck at about 1 a.m. Thursday, a sport utility vehicle rear-ended a semi-truck that stopped in the highway’s snow-covered left lane to check on another motorist stuck in the median two miles east of Tower City.
 
     The SUV driver, 57-year-old William Sand of Grafton, and two passengers, 34-year-old Katherine Sand and 27-year-old Michael Sand, were treated at a Fargo hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. 
 
     In the other crash, a minivan was attempting to pass another vehicle in blowing snow on an ice-covered I-94 east of Jamestown about 8:30 p.m. Thursday when it spun into the median. Twenty-nine-year-old Fabio Paradiso of Calgary, Alberta, was taken to a Jamestown hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
