Richland County semi/pickup crash seriously injures driver in Richland County

RICHLAND COUNTY, N.D. (KVRR-KFGO) — One person was injured in a crash on I-29 in Richland County around 10:30 Sunday night.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a pickup and a semi-truck were southbound on the interstate about a mile south of Christine when the collision happened.

The pickup, driven by 18-year-old Tyson Schneider, of Dickinson, North Dakota, was traveling behind the semi-truck driven by 27-year-old Jacob Roesler of Leonard, N.D. Scheider failed to see the semi traveling slower and rear-ended the semi at road speed.

The pickup went into the I-29 median and the semi stopped on the shoulder.

Schneider was transported to Sanford Hospital in Fargo with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Roesler was not injured.
