Fiery collision between two semis causes highway fire in Fargo

A fiery collision involving two semis occurred on Interstate 29 in Fargo, North Dakota, around 2:30 a.m. on February 28, 2025.

What happened: A Kenworth truck, driven by a 72-year-old from Minnesota, was merging back onto the highway from the shoulder and was rear-ended by an empty cattle hauler driven by a 66-year-old from Manitoba.

The impact caused the cattle hauler to catch fire, though the driver was able to escape with minor injuries.
The Kenworth managed to pull over on the shoulder, while the cattle hauler stopped in the right lane.

The aftermath: Responding agencies, including the Fargo Fire Department and Sanford Ambulance, quickly got the fire under control.

The Highway Patrol is still investigating, with charges pending for both drivers.

No one else was hurt in this incident, reported KVRR News.
