The North Dakota Highway
Patrol lists a series of crashes fi'om
Monday, Jan. 25, on Interstate 94.
The first crash occurred at 9:15
a.m. in the eastbound lane near mite
marker 10. A 2003 Freightliner
driven by Sergey Belozerov from
Colorado Springs, Colo., received
$5,000 in damages. Belozerov was
traveling east from Washington to
Illinois when he saw vehicles in
front of him on the left side of the
roadway and turned to the right and
drove into the deep snow along the
shoulder, according to the Highway
Patrol. The snow broke the hood of
the semi into several pieces.
A North Dakota Highway Patrol
report said the semi came to rest
facing east on the right shoulder of
the road.
The vehicles that Beloweoy
observed included a semi stuck in
the median, a tow truck with the
emergency lights on, and a patrol
car with the emergency lights on.
There was a no travel advisory for
the area at the time of this crash,
according to the North Dakota
Department of Transportation and
the Highway Patrol.
The second accident occurred
at 9:21 a.m. on 1-94 near mile
marker 10. A 2008 Ford pickup
driven by Bruce Knell Jr. from
Lander, Wyo, received $8,000 in
damages and a 1998 International
driven by William Byers from
Yakima, Wash., received $2,000
in damages during the collision.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol
report said Knell was traveling
east from Glendive, Mont., to
Belfield and turned left attempt-
ing to steer into the median to
avoid the mher vehicles. Knell
was not able to stop before hitting
Byer's semi. Byer's semi was
stuck in the median facing east
and was waiting to be towed. An
unidentified passenger car got
stuck in the roadway between the
two semi trucks. No one was
injured in the crash and no cita-
tions were issued.
The third accident occurred at
9:45 a.m. on 1-94, also near mile
marker 10. Shayne ttinz from
Dickinson was driving a 2004 Ford
Ranger that received $6,000 in
damages, when he rear-ended the
vehicle of John Barry from Solen,
N.D. Barry was driving a 2003
Ford Windstar that received $4,500
in damage. Hinz was traveling east
from Wibaux, Mont., to Dickinson,
and Barry was traveling east from
Billings, Mont. to Bismarck. There
was a semi stuck in the median fac-
ing east and asemi stuck in the right
ditch. Both semi trucks were wait-
ing to be towed and the Highway
Patrol car in the area had emer-
gency lights on. Barry slowed for
the area and Hinz was following
and unable to slow down fast
enough when the rear-end collision
occurred. No one was injured in the
crash and no citations were issued.
The fourth accident involved
injuries to Richard and Linda
Schmidt of Beach. The Schmidts
were traveling in a 1998 Dodge
Caravan, according to a report from
the Golden Valley County Sheriff's
Office. The Caravan rolled over at
approximately 4:44 p.m. on the 1-94
eastbound lane, near mile marker
13. Linda Schmidt was trapped in

the ditch.

according to the accident report
from the Golden Valley County
