CASSELTON, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A Valley City woman received minor injuries after trying to avoid some debris on I-94 near the Maple River bridge Monday evening.

Margie Carlson, 39, was traveling westbound on I-94 at around 4:50 PM when she came across a large piece of debris on the roadway in the left lane. Due to traffic, Carlson was unable to avoid the debris. She attempted to swerve left toward the median, struck the debris and lost control of the vehicle.

State Highway Patrol Captain Bryan Niewind reports that Carlson struck the guardrail and rolled the vehicle onto the drivers side. Carlson was able to extricate herself from the vehicle and was transported by personal vehicle to receive medical treatment of her injuries.

“The debris she struck was the step system from the side of a semi tractor,” Captain Niewind reports. “It consisted of aluminum steps and fiberglass paneling about 12 to 14 feet long. The fiberglass was a light, mint green color with a thin darker green pin strip down the center of the fiberglass.”

The crash remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the debris is asked to call 701-328-1081.
