CLEVELAND (AP) - A car and a semitrailer loaded with soybeans collided head-on, on a Stutsman County road south of the Cleveland exit off Interstate 94, killing the driver of the car.
The Highway Patrol did not immediately identify the victim of the crash about 2:30 p.m. Friday.
Authorities said the woman driving the car drove into the wrong lane. She died at the scene.
The semitrailer overturned in the ditch, caught fire and was destroyed, the patrol said. The 80,000 pounds of soybeans spilled into the ditch.
The driver of the semi - Mark Williams, 52, of Jud - escaped before it caught fire, the patrol said.
