Not Going Anywhere?

A semi-trailer headed eastbound on Interstate 94 drove off the road onto a pond near Monticello this morning, then broke through the thin ice and sank.

State Patrol spokesman Eric Roeske said that the driver escaped with minor injuries after driving through a break in oncoming traffic after crossing the interstate median.

The accident happened just after 6 AM this morning, on the western end of the Minnesota Department of Transportation's test facility on I-94.

Roeske said arrangements are underway to get the truck winched out of the water.
