Horses safe after 4-vehicle pileup on Interstate 35 near Wyoming
WYOMING, Minn. (FOX 9) – Interstate 35 in Wyoming had to be shut down for nearly two hours Friday afternoon after a four-vehicle crash involving two vehicles and two trucks with trailers, one hauling horses and dogs.
What happened
The backstory:
The Minnesota State Patrol responded to the crash at about 3:50 p.m. on northbound Interstate 35 near the Wyoming exit. When authorities arrived, they determined an unknown vehicle cut in front of traffic, causing a rear-end chain reaction style crash.
Authorities say a passenger vehicle was hit by a truck with a trailer, which was hit by another truck with a horse trailer. Another passenger car was involved in the crash.
The State Patrol says the horse trailer was carrying four to five horses, and three dogs, none of which was injured in the crash.
Horses on the loose?
What we know:
The Chisago County Sheriff’s Office posted on its Facebook they believe the horses were loose in the immediate aftermath of the crash, creating more chaos on the interstate during the afternoon rush hour. They were eventually gathered.
One hospitalized
The State Patrol says one driver was hospitalized with minor, non-life threatening injuries.
Northbound Interstate 35 was closed from 3:50 p.m. to 5:40 p.m.

James Forest Mothersbaugh Jr.: 1953 – 2025
James “Jim” Forest Mothersbaugh Jr. passed away on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at Central Wyoming Hospice in Casper, Wyoming, from complications of Multiple System Atrophy. He is survived by his wife, Becky Mothersbaugh; his sons, James Forest Mothersbaugh III and Blair Mothersbaugh; and Blair’s fiancée, Kelsey Baron.
Jim’s life was defined by music. He was a highly accomplished violinist, performing with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Puerto Rico, Wyoming Symphony Orchestra, and Savannah Symphony, among many others. He held degrees in violin performance, music education, and conducting from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and the Hartt School of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, with additional doctoral studies at the University of Iowa. He met his wife when they were both performing in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and passed his musical acumen to both of his sons. Jim taught orchestra and music theory to generations of students of all ages & abilities during his 28 years in the Natrona County School District. He conducted award-winning orchestras, taught students who went on to become professional musicians, and instilled a sense of purpose, character, and belief in both his students and colleagues that extended far beyond the stage. He was also an expert in the craft of re-hairing bows for string instruments, knew everything there is to know about The Beatles, and possessed a rare ability called synesthesia, which allowed him to see specific colors when hearing music. He leaves an extensive, enduring, and active legacy in the Wyoming musical community.
Jim will be immensely missed by his family, his friends, his colleagues, and his students. A celebration of life will take place at Backwards Distilling Company in Casper, Wyoming on June 28, 2026 from 2 to 5 p.m. Please RSVP at https://jimsmemorial.rsvpify.com/.
