Watch: Semi-trailer jackknifes on I-94, overturns in mound of snow
Among the many crashes and spinouts on Minnesota roads during Wednesday's heavy snow was this jackknifing semi-trailer on I-94.
Minnesota Department of Transportation traffic cameras captured the incident at around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday on westbound I-94 just west of Albertville Premium Outlets.
With the space between the westbound and eastbound lanes filled with plowed snow, the semi briefly disappears into a cloud of snow as it hurtles into the median.
The aftermath of the crash shows the trailer on its side, with police arriving at the scene several minutes later.
