DULUTH - A warning was issued Wednesday from the Minnesota State Patrol after nasty accidents occurred throughout the state, including a rollover in Duluth.
The Duluth incident happened on southbound Interstate 35 just north of the Bong Bridge exit.
Officials said a tractor trailer merged into the vehicle, which caused it to strike the snow-packed center barrier and roll over.
The driver from Proctor was removed from the flipped-over vehicle by fire fighters – suffering only minor injuries.
The Minn. Department of Transportation warned Wednesday to slow down, watch out for black ice, and snow-packed barriers on highways that can act like a ramp.
