Grand Forks, N.D. (AP) A man is dead after a semi and a sports utility vehicle collided on a slippery road in North Dakota. The North Dakota Highway Patrol says the Peterbilt semi and flatbed trailer and the Chevrolet Trailblazer crashed Wednesday on the southbound lanes of Interstate 29 near the Gateway exit in Grand Forks county.
The trailblazer lost traction on the slippery road and began to spin. The semi, which was traveling behind the SUV, was unable to stop and struck the trailblazer's passenger's side.
The SUV came to rest on the right shoulder, while the semi traveled down the steep ditch and stopped on the southbound on-ramp to I-29.
The 33-year-old male driver of the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene. He wasn't publicly identified.
The semi's driver wasn't injured.
