PEMBINA, N.D. (AP) - A semitrailer crash near the North Dakota-Canada border killed seven cattle.
The Highway Patrol says the semitrailer went off the side of an Interstate 29 exit ramp at Pembina shortly before 12:30 p.m. Tuesday and tipped on its side.
The trailer had to be cut open to free the 38 cattle inside, and seven of the animals died or had to be euthanized. Area residents helped corral the surviving cattle.
The driver was treated at the scene for minor injuries and cited for care required. The exit ramp was shut down for about four hours but traffic on the interstate wasn’t affected.
