North Dakota Highway Patrol said a soldier’s vehicle was hit Wednesday, Jan. 5, during work in an earlier accident on Interstate 94 near Jamestown.
A patrolman was conducting traffic control in the right lane of I-94 near the mile marker 259 shortly after 2:20 p.m. after a vehicle hit a guardrail and was left unattended in the lane of right of I-94. North Dakota Department of Transportation plows were working in the area plowing the left lane east of the soldier’s location, and a second truck was parked behind the patrol car with all lights on.

All vehicles were towed off the scene. The occupants of the SUV were transported by Jamestown Area Ambulance to Jamestown Regional Medical Center for treatment for their injuries.
