Truck’s collisions owed to medical emergency

Watching this tractor-trailer swerving across a busy Minnesota highway and crashing into barriers is unnerving to the say the least.

State troopers report that the driver had actually been having a medical emergency and after undergoing treatment was expected to be okay. Amazingly, the truck did not collide with other vehicles but instead struck highway barriers.

Minnesota Department of Transportation cameras caught the action Monday on U.S. Highway 169 near Shakopee, Minnesota.

“This is atypical. It’s very rare,” Minnesota Trucking Association President John Hausladen told kare11.com.
