Snow-Storm in N.D Keeps Towers on the Move

Tow truck drivers along Interstate 29 in the Eastern part of N.D. were hustling over the weekend, 12/6, as there were more than two-dozen trucks and cars in ditches left over from a snow-storm. North of Fargo, nearly 25 cars littered the ditches. At the height of the wind and snow, people couldn't see, and into the ditch they went. 

Rich Klaski of Mayville's Samaritan Towing had a phone that just kept ringing Monday from people hoping to get their cars out of the ditch. 

"I had zero visibility last night," Klaski recalled. "I was crawling along Highway 200 and couldn't have been doing more than ten miles an hour, just watching the side of the road so I could see where I was going." 

It got so bad Sunday night on I-29 that North Dakota Highway Patrol troopers went out on the interstate to rescue people who had ignored the warnings and were stranded in their cars. 

Towing companies said they had jobs for the entire day up and down the interstate, and were grateful the sun was out and roads finally clear. https://www.inforum.com/
