A semitrailer rolled on Interstate 90 early Wednesday morning. The Highway Patrol hadn’t compiled reports as of press time, but the rollover occurred at about 5 a.m. in the east-bound lane, just off the Rock River bridge east of Luverne. The semi reportedly was transporting ethanol from Luverne’s Agri-Energy plant at the time of the accident.
Also Wednesday morning in Beaver Creek, several Beaver Creek residents were without power after a semi tractor and trailer rolled down a hill, sideswiping a fire hydrant, knocking over four mailboxes and snapping an electrical pole. The damage was discovered around 8:30 a.m. when Beaver Creek city employee Lloyd DeBoer began plowing the streets. A tow truck pulled the rig back onto the road.
