In the midst of Minnesota’s snowy weather conditions, a semi-truck passing a stalled vehicle lost traction and jackknifed, leading to a 32-car pile up on I-94 near Minneapolis on Saturday.
KARE reports the pileup took place when cars tried to brake behind the truck, but instead wound up sliding into each other. Thankfully, no one was killed and only five minor injuries were reported.
