RICHLAND COUNTY, N.D. (KFGO) — One person was injured in a crash on I-29 in Richland County around 10:30 Sunday night.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a pickup and a semi-truck were southbound on the interstate about a mile south of Christine when the collision happened.

The pickup, driven by 18-year-old Tyson Schneider, of Dickinson, North Dakota, was traveling behind the semi-truck driven by 27-year-old Jacob Roesler of Leonard, N.D. Scheider failed to see the semi traveling slower and rear-ended the semi at road speed.

The pickup went into the I-29 median and the semi stopped on the shoulder.

Schneider was transported to Sanford Hospital in Fargo with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Roesler was not injured.

WILLISTON, N.D. (KFYR) – Firefighter crews from California came to North Dakota and helped fight the Williams County fires and the Bear Den fire in McKenzie County. A few Williston firefighters were sent out to help fight fires in California in September for 16 days. When the fires broke out in North Dakota, two Californian crews they worked with were sent to help.

“Our crews are working together again. So, they worked together in California, they’re now working together here in McKenzie County, North Dakota,” said Corey Johnson, Assistant Chief of Operations for the City of Williston Fire Department. “The only difference is the California folks are here helping us, instead of us helping them.”

He said there were many fire departments from different areas at the Williams County fires.
