JAMESTOWN, N.D. (KFGO) – A semi crash in Jamestown resulted in the death of 14 head of cattle.
It happened around 2 p.m.Thursday afternoon on the Highway 52 overpass of I-94.
The Highway Patrol says the semi and trailer hauling 127 cattle was traveling south on the overpass, turning to head east on the Interstate 94 ramp. The driver was traveling too fast while making the turn and the cattle shifted in the trailer. That caused the semi and trailer to tip on the side.
The Jamestown Rural Fire Department, local ranchers, and a vet clinic helped take the cattle to the Jamestown Livestock yard.
The semi-driver, 25-year-old Dannie Swartzentruber of Browerville, Minnesota was not hurt but was cited for Care Required.
