Six people injured in four-vehicle crash on I-29 near Colfax, North Dakota; Driver charged with DUI
RICHLAND COUNTY, N.D. (KFGO – The North Dakota Highway Patrol says six people were injured in a four-vehicle chain-reaction crash that happened on northbound I-29 shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday near Colfax.
A portion of the northbound interstate had been closed about an hour earlier when a Day County, South Dakota Ambulance caught fire as it drove north on I-29.. The driver and two others escaped the ambulance fire.
While I-29 was closed by the fire, a car approached the stopped traffic line on the interstate, failed to stop, and rear-ended another car and it was pushed into the rear of a stopped pickup, which then rear-ended another vehicle.
The driver of the first vehicle, 28-year-old Donald Lawuya, of Fargo, and four people in other vehicles were transported to Sanford Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. 59-year-old Jodie Erfle, of West Fargo, the driver of the second vehicle that was struck, suffered serious, life-threatening injuries and was also taken to Sanford Hospital.
Lawuya was arrested at Sanford Hospital for DUI, DUI-Refusal, and Driving Under Suspension.
MINOT, N.D. (KMOT) – One of the highlights of every North Dakota State Fair is the Fur Traders Rendezvous.
A familiar face returned this year, along with a canoe he made at the fair several years ago.
The rendezvous brings fairgoers back to the time of the fur traders.
Those who take part in the rendezvous live, and even sleep, on the grounds for the duration of the fair.
Jeremy Duckwitz, who is referred to as the ‘brain tanner,’ said he carved a canoe out of a giant log back in 2016.
He said it took him all nine days of the fair, working eight hours a day to carve it.
He brought the canoe back to the fair this year to seal the cracks with his team and have it on display.
“This year I got around to sealing all the cracks with beeswax. There was a larger crack we sealed with pine pitch and wood shavings, and then the rest of it’s all linseed oil so it’s all ready to float down the Missouri River,” said Duckwitz.
Duckwitz said he plans on taking the canoe out on the river in the coming weeks.
The rendezvous is across from the state fair center on the north end of the grounds.
They’ll be open through Saturday.
