Driver Killed in Loose Rock Truck Accident on Highway 1 in Lamoure County, ND
Lamoure County, ND — May 25, 2023, a driver sustained fatal injuries following a truck accident involving a loose rock at around 8:00 a.m. along Highway 1.
Authorities with the North Dakota Highway Patrol reported that the fatal incident happened along the highway as a dump truck hauling rocks along Highway 1.

Details say that a 58-year-old Valley City man was going southbound along the highway at the time. While near the dump truck, news statements say that the truck "unloaded" a rock, causing it to bounce on the road and through the man's windshield.
