FARIBAULT, MN : Driver airlifted after fiery crash between semis closes I-35 on Wednesday, 12th July 2023

At least one man is hurt after two semi-trucks slammed into each other Wednesday on Interstate 35 in southern Minnesota.

One of the big rigs burst into flames just before noon in a construction zone on the southbound side of the interstate, north of Faribault. The chaos closed the interstate for seven hours.

One of the drivers -- a 79-year-old man from Sioux Falls, South Dakota -- was transported to Hennepin Healthcare with life-threatening injuries, the Minnesota State Patrol said. The other driver's condition is still unknown.
