Shown is the front end of the trailer, flipped on its side. The front half of the trailer was crumpled up like a pop can. |

The accident happened some time on Monday morning. I took these photos at around 12:30 pm.
**Update - for the record, here's what I learned from a State Trooper: the driver of the semi apparently overcorrected his semi tractor while trying to come back off of the shoulder. This happened at about 8:30 am this morning a little under 2 miles west of Belgrade on Highway 55. The driver suffered just a cut on his forehead and miraculously walked away from the crash. The semi trailer was hauling herbicide. No herbicide leaked from the trailer.
No other vehicles were involved.
