Semi stuck in floodwaters, driver cited

GALCHUTT, N.D. (AP) - The driver of a semi has been cited after he ended up stuck in floodwaters in Richland County.

Sheriff Larry Leshovsky says the driver went around a barricade along Highway 8 near Galchutt. The sheriff says the level of the Wild Rice River will have to drop before the semi and trailer can be towed. The semi driver and a passenger were rescued by boat.

KFGO says the State Patrol is handling the investigation.
