N.D. – (NewsDakota.com) The North Dakota Highway Patrol says four people were injured in two weather-related crashes on Interstate 94 on Thursday, January 7th.

In the first crash 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 just before 1am.

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 second 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, January 7th when it spun into the median. 29 year-old Fabio Paradiso of Calgary, Alberta, was taken to a Jamestown hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
