STEWARTVILLE — Four semis were involved in two separate crashes minutes apart on the same stretch of Interstate 90 in southeastern Minnesota.
The State Patrol says one person died in one of the crashes on Interstate 90 and two others were hurt Monday afternoon near Stewartville. A semi traveling westbound sideswiped another semi that had pulled over. One of the semis spilled its load. One of the drivers, from Sheboygan, Wisconsin, was injured.
The second crash happened about 10 minutes later in the same area. Jonathan A. Schadt, 38, of Des Moines, Iowa, was killed and Brandon M. Peterson, 30, of Albert Lea, was injured when a 2012 Peterbuilt semi and a 2016 Freightliner semi collided on westbound I-90.
Troopers say traffic on the westbound lanes was detoured for several hours.
