MOORHEAD, Minn. (KVRR) — A man in a mental health crisis causes traffic on westbound I-94 in Moorhead to be detoured for about a half hour.

He had a self-inflicted injury to his hand and was suffering from the cold.

Moorhead Fire Department’s ladder truck helped bring the man down and he was taken to a hospital for an evaluation.

The detour was lifted before the rush hour began at 5.
