On Monday morning, October 26, with the highways covered in fog, one person died and several more were injured in two separate accidents.
According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, the highways were very foggy in north central North Dakota and at about 8 a.m. on Highway 83, around eight miles south of Minot, five vehicles were involved in the first accident. A car, being driven by Lyne Enget of Stanley was stopped and a Peterbilt semi hauling an empty ammonia tank ran into the car. The car was then pushed into another semi which was also stopped following an earlier collision, and Enget was killed.
The Peterbilt semi came to rest in the median and caught fire.
Six people were taken to Trinity Hospital as a result of the incident.
A second accident, on Highway Two near the Bakken Transload Station, near Ross involving at least four vehicles, including a semi which overturned, sent several people to the hospital in Stanley although most were released later.
