Press Release: Serious Semi Crash Disrupts Traffic at Lowry Hill Tunnel in Minneapolis
Minneapolis, MN – A significant rollover accident involving a semi-truck caused major disruptions on Interstate 94 at the Lowry Hill Tunnel on Friday. The incident occurred around 10:55 a.m. when the truck, transporting ammunition, crashed into a tunnel wall, resulting in the vehicle rolling over.
Emergency responders from the Minnesota State Patrol reported that the driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries, with no other vehicles involved in the collision. The crash led to the complete closure of the westbound lanes of I-94, which remained shut down for several hours. Traffic was finally permitted to flow again just before 1 p.m., although full access was not restored until around 4:30 p.m.
Authorities confirmed that the semi lost its cargo during the incident; however, details regarding the exact amount of ammunition or any environmental impact remained unclear.
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) officials are continuing to evaluate the situation as they monitor traffic patterns in the aftermath of the crash. Commuters are advised to budget extra travel time due to residual delays.
