I-29 Blocked For 3 Hours After Semi Hits Snowplow Near Buxton

NEAR BUXTON, N.D. – A Minnesota man is cited after hitting a NDDOT snowplow with his semi on Interstate 29 near Buxton Thursday morning.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says 44-year-old Gregory Little of Blaine was driving north around 9:35 when he was “temporarily blinded” by snow from the snowplow and rear-ended it.

The plow driver, 45-year-old Brian Foss of Hillsboro, had minor injuries and Little was not hurt.

The left lane of northbound I-29 was blocked for three hours while both trucks were being removed.

Little was cited for careless driving causing injury to a snowplow driver and/or damage exceeding $1,000 to snow removal equipment.

The crash remains under investigation.
