Traffic is flowing again in both directions on Interstate 94 following the fatal crash of a semi early Wednesday.
A semi hauling used auto parts overturned inside the Lowry Hill tunnel just before 6:30 a.m. Wednesday. The State Patrol says the truck was heading west on I-94 when it struck a light pole and rolled, spilling debris into the eastbound lanes and trapping the truck driver underneath his vehicle.
The State Patrol says the driver was a 62-year-old man from Wisconsin. They have not released his name or hometown.
Three vehicles were hit by debris but no other injuries were reported. The accident closed the tunnel in both directions for several hours and backed up traffic for miles.
