Patrol: Vehicle Drops Crate On I-35, Seriously Injures St. Paul Man
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Minnesota State Patrol is asking for the public's help in locating a vehicle that dropped a crate on Interstate 35, which seriously injured a St. Paul man.
The incident occurred on the interstate near Broadway Avenue in Forest Lake around 11:30 p.m. Saturday. There, a 20-year-old St. Paul man was seriously injured by the wooden crate.
Anyone with information is asked to call the patrol at 651-779-5900.
The patrol says securing your load is a law in Minnesota, so use ratchet straps -- not twine or rope, cover the load with a secured tarp if possible and make sure your safety chains are connected if hauling a trailer.
