Incredible semi accident by Belgrade

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 semi tractor sitting on a rollback owned by Ed's Service Center in Willmar.

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.
